TELCON
Director Colby/Kissinger
9:35 p.m. - 7/19/74
K:
Hello.
C:
Hello, Henry.
K:
Bill, how areyou?
Sorry to have kept you on the line.
C:
That's OK.
K:
I just wanted to check in with you and to make sure you would of
course be keeping a close watch on this thing. Can you get us out
here-- I'm in San Clemente -- your estimate of how this thing is
going to evolve.
C:
All right. Fine.
K:
And also what the Turkish capability is to put troops ashore. What
is it, do you know?
C:
It's very good. They've got about I'd say about a regiment or so
on the ships. They've got about 20 odd ships.
K:
A regiment is what, 2000?
C:
It's 2 or 3 thousand, yes.
K:
And then how many can they send?
C:
And they've got some airborne also. They have an airborne brigade.
K:
How many is that?
C:
They apparently are going for Kyrenia on the north coast. That's the
first step.
K:
But what do you think they're after? They' re not after the whole island
are they?
C:
No, no. What they would be after would be Phamagusta and Kyrenia
and kind of a line between the two.
K:
That kind of a quadrangle in the northeast.
C:
Yeh. Well, call it almost the (inaudible) from roughly Baranaka on
up and then just asser themselves and give themselves a position to
bargain with.
