NOTES
Communist China - Middle East: Peking's ef-
forts to expand its diplomatic presence in the Mid-
dle East and to win votes for admission to the.UN
are now focusing on Turkey and Iran Both countries
are actively weighing the question ofrecognition--
possibly along lines of the Canadian formula, taking
note'of.Peking's claim to. Taiwanwithout endorsing-
it. Direct Turkish-Chinese talks began.on 25 April.
Iran's. interest, in ties with Peking became obvious
earlier this month with a visit to China by the
Shah's twin sister. Both Iran and Turkey see rec-
ognition of China as of some value as a balancing
factor in theirrelations with the USSR.
Turkey: Martial law is being put into effect
in ways calculated to cause as little disruption as
possible. There is a ban on known extremist organ-
izations, but there have been only scattered ar-
rests. The government is awaiting parliament's
passage of tougher laws before embarking on any
roundup of leftist suspects.
