Party chief Brezhnev's brief discuosion of Cyprus _in his speech today in Poland reflected Moscow's cautious approach to the crisis. He ex-plicitly con demned Athens for "unconcealed armed aggression" and said "cert'ain NATO circles" bore responsibility for the Greek action. Brezhnev vaguely called for an end to "outside military interference." His failure to specificaliy mention the Turkish invasion is .in line with general Soviet a~proval 6f,the Turk action. ~ 34. ·Foreign Minister Gromyko today met with the Turkish ambassador to the USSR while, in Ankara, the Soviet ambassador-met with Turkey's to~ career diplomat • . The t~o Soviets may have stated Moscow's opposition to any T~rkisb intention to partition Cyprus. In his speech today, Bre~hnev stressed that the independence of Cyprus must be protected and th~t the_political situation on theiisland should return to what existed prior to the coup.

Turk newspape~s this morning carried a report that Moscow had alerted a 50,000 man force to suppo~t Turkey against the intervention of other countries. A Soviet intelligence officer in Tu~key subsequently took pains to tell the US that th• reports were in .. correct. He referre~ to yesterday's TASS report denying that all Soviet forces were on alert. Al though Moscow may be planting stories of Soviet sup port in order to curry favor in Ankara, Moscow obviously wants to .avoid actions that would appear provocative to.the West. 5X1 - 5X '--- .. i ·.
