    "ocrText": "- 4 -\nthe Turks did. But we did want to get the preparations completed quickly.\nMr. Numan said that the Turks had the same object. They did not\nwish to provoke the Germans. He could not agree to the introduction of\npersonnel but he did agree to the introduction of technicians, though he must\nmake & reserve regarding the number of these. What he had said amounted to\nan acceptance in principle of technicians for the material promised.\nMr. Hopkins remarked that President Inonu had several times spoken\nof Turkey's minimum defence requirements. He wondered if he was right in\nassuming that this did not refer to infiltration and air material but to\nother needs. He assumed that the British had been discussing such questions\nwith the Turkish General Staff. Had the British any idea of Turkish minimum\nrequirements? Did they, for instance, include anti-aircraft guns and aircraft?\nThis brought up the question of the commitments to be made and he realised\nthat it was necessary to get personnel introduced in advance. But he wished\nto be clear in his own mind about the details.\nMr. Eden thought this was a good question. It seemed to him that\nthere were two points - the material to be used by us in order to give pro-\ntection to Turkey, and the material to be given to Turkey for use by the\nTurks themselves.\nMr. Hopkins mentioned that there was also the Anglo-American force\nto go into Turkey in the event of war.\nMr. Eden said that in the first instance this was air alone -\nanti-aircraft.\nMr. Numan said he wished to make an observation and to compare what\nTurkey had got with what she had asked for. After the Adana Conference the\nTurks had prepared a list of requirements which had been more or less discussed."
