TELCON
Prime Minister Ecevit of Turkey
Secretary Kissinger
1:25 p.m., July 21, 1974
K:
Hello.
E:
Hello, Dr. Kissinger. I talked with Mr. Callaghan. He was going
me
to telephone but I didn't receive a call yet. Did you talk with him?
K:
Yes, I've talked with him.
E:
Yes.
K:
And I've talked with the Greeks. I think it will be impossible to get
your proposal accepted.
E:
Why?
K:
Well, as I understand your proposal, it is quite frankly another
delaying tactic.
E:
No, no, it's not a delaying tactic. You see
K:
You're a good student of mine.
E:
We have reason to be [guarded] of their intentions. We made
ceasefire. But they have pilots in there speaking Turkish, using
our codes; maybe they're right, I don't complain. We cannot be
sure whether they will not violate the ceasefire in our name so we
must take certain minimum conditions of security assurances. We
can finish that discussion within a couple of hours.
K:
Um-humm. Well, I talked to the Greek Prime Minister an d his
first reaction was negative. I have now sent Sisco in to see him.
E:
The Greek Prime Minister?
K:
Yes.
E:
All right. Then shall I call you again or shall I expect a call?
I'm at the Prime Ministry.
K:
I shall call you.
E:
All right.
K:
But again, you know what high regard I have for you. I would like
you to
