TURKEY: A recently discovered connection be-
tween a foreign ministry official and a Communist
terrorist will create new strains on the civilian
government and increase pressure within the military
for a direct take-over.
25X1
The fugitive leader of the Maoist revolutionary
organization, SAFAK, was arrested on 24 May in the
home of a junior official in the foreign ministry
where the terrorist had been hiding. The fugitive
had been on the martial law wanted list for over a
year, and security officials assumed that he had
left the country. The official who had sheltered
the fugitive and two other foreign ministry offi-
cials were arrested, but it apparently has not been
established that the latter two knew the fugitive
was there.
Foreign Minister Bayulken's position in the
cabinet could be jeopardized as a result of the
arrests, which followed an anonymous tip. Criti-
cism of the foreign ministry is already widespread
within government circles because of its alleged
disproportionate influence. This is the first in-
dication of Communist infiltration in the civilian
bureaucracy, although numerous junior officers have
been dismissed from the armed forces in recent
months for leftist connections.
This incident will fan dissatisfaction among
the members of the officer corps, which contains
elements who favor increased military control.

EGYPT-USSR: Egypt reportedly received at least
ten T-62 tanks from the USSR earlier this year. The
T-62 is a more advanced tank and carries a more pow-
erful gun than the T-55 that now makes up the main
force of Egypt's armor corps. T-62s would improve
Egypt's capabilities against any tank in the Israeli
inventory, including the US M-60. Heretofore, the
Soviets have not given the T-62 tank to any country
outside the Warsaw Pact. Egypt probably will re-
ceive only a limited number of T-62s in the near fu-
ture, but even a few will help demonstrate to Sadat
Moscow's willingness to s u p p l y the Egyptians with
more modern weapons.
