    NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE ESTIMATE Soviet Military Policy in the Third World tnlit ..2.1'P.Oetbbei41976'4 T October 1975, the Soviets initiated an air and sealift from the USSR to help its client and in January 1976 began providing an airlift for Cuban forces between Cuba and Angola. 94. The Soviets evidently believe that the victory of a Soviet-supported national liberation movement has increased Soviet prestige in the Third World. The Soviets probably hope that Angola—where a substan- tial Cuban presence will probably remain for some [Omitted here is text unrelated to Africa.] time—may also assist the USSR in providing Soviets an entree to other national liberation movements in southern Africa—such as SWAPO. In October 1976 the Soviets signed a treaty of friendship and coopera- tion to consolidate their political position. In addition, they may hope to obtain access to port and air facilities as an alternative to those in Guinea. 95. Mozambique. Although not as extensive as that of the Chinese, Soviet aid in the form of military equipment, training, and funds assisted the Mozam- bique Liberation Front (FRELIMO) to come to power when Mozambique achieved independence in June 1975.

  • The Basic Principles and Practices of the Turmsh Foreign Policy Under Atatürk
    THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES OF THE TURMSH FOREIGN POLICY UNDER ATATÜRK YÜCEL GÜÇLÜ The fifteen years during which the Republican Turkey had been in existence under Kemal Atatürk's leadership were filled with an almost incredible activity in every field—including the foreign affairs. Few more surprising metamorphoses were recorded in history than the transformation which in the course of one decade and a half had changed old Turkey into a progressive modern country and a pillar of peace and stability in the Balkan Peninsula, in the eastern Mediterranean and in Western Asia. Turkey enjoyed the respect of all. No one dreamed of interfering in its internal affairs. Its neighbours, far from watching for opportunities to despoil it, were anxious to cultivate its friendship and they welcomed its co-operation in maintaining their common interests. Turkish diplomacy, in the period between the two world wars, wise and moderate as it showed itself, as well as vigorous and far-seeing, could not have accomplished so much if it had not been supported by radical reforms at home removing old shackles and inhibitions and opening the way for a tremendous revival of national energy and for a great development of national resources, both economic and cultural. The Turkish Constitution of 1924 had reserved a special foreign policy role to the President of the Republic. The President was well acquainted with the nation's diplomatic and security concerns. Atatürk had able lieutenants and devoted followers; but the realism and radicalism that marked Turkish foreign and internal policy since the foundation of the Republic were the fruit of his original genius.

The 1963 Elysée Treaty in France and Germany Three winters ago, the tricolor waved over Berlin--from the new French Embassy near the Brandenburg Gate (through which Napoleon had marched victorious in 1806) to the Siegessäule (built to commemorate the 1870 victory over the French). The previous day, a joint French-German parliamentary session took place at Versailles, where so many wars had been ended. January 22, 2003 marked the fortieth anniversary of the Elysée Treaty (often dubbed the Treaty of Friendship), signed by Konrad Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle in 1963. Fanfare in both Berlin and Paris demonstrated the desire to neutralize--and even appropriate--symbolic sites of the old enmity. Recasting lieux de mémoire has a long legacy in the post-1945 history of Franco-German relations, and the 2003 celebrations proved no exception. This volume, drawn from a 2003 conference at the Deutsches Historisches Institut-Paris and the Sorbonne, hinges on two basic and interrelated questions. First, did Franco-German reconciliation result from the state and its representatives (read great men), from big ideas or from civil society? Second, was the Elysée Treaty the cause or the result of reconciliation between the twoErbfeinde ? Throughout the work, a rigorous and balanced scrutiny of the treaty from multiple angles belies the apparent simplicity of these queries.

  • India-Bangladesh Relations India Was the First Country to Recognize
    India-Bangladesh Relations India was the first country to recognize Bangladesh as a separate and independent state and established diplomatic relations with the country immediately after its independence in December 1971. India's links with Bangladesh are civilisational, cultural, social and economic. There is much that unites the two countries – a shared history and common heritage, linguistic and cultural ties, passion for music, literature and the arts. This commonality is reflected in our multi-dimensional and expanding relations. India and Bangladesh’s geographical locations complement each other and present an opportunity for both to further develop their connectivity links and economies. 2. High-level exchanges, visits and meetings take place regularly alongside the wide ranging people-to-people interaction. The landmark visits of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India in January 2010 and the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Bangladesh in September 2011 have opened a new chapter in our bilateral relations with Bangladesh. The visit of President Pranab Mukherjee to Bangladesh in March 2013, on his first trip abroad since assuming this post, reflects the highest importance that Government of India attaches to its relationship with Bangladesh, which is based on the principles of equality, partnership and mutual growth. 3. In the last four decades, the two countries have continued to consolidate their political, economic, trade and cultural relations, building on the foundation laid by then Prime Minister of India Smt. Indira Gandhi and then Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as reflected in the Indo-Bangladesh Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Peace of 1972. Both countries have completed institutional framework for bilateral cooperation for enhancing mutual and regional security.

However, this only compounded the fears of the Community’s smaller countries concerning a dominant Franco-German association. Even within Germany itself, there were many who felt that European unity and the alliance with the United States should not be sacrificed on the altar of Franco-German friendship. On 14 January 1963, de Gaulle officially stated his opposition to the United Kingdom’s accession to the Common Market. On 22 January 1963, at the Élysée Palace, France and Germany signed a formal bilateral Treaty strengthening the links between the two countries in terms of security and diplomacy. The Treaty provided for close cooperation between France and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in the areas of foreign affairs, defence, education and youth. While the Élysée Treaty defined an intergovernmental cooperation method (regular meetings at all levels), it did not contain any binding commitments with regard to the harmonisation of international stances. Initially envisaged as a simple written notification of the areas in which the two countries had agreed to renew their cooperation, the Treaty took the form of a very brief framework document (19 articles in all), annexed to which was a joint statement laying down the political tenor of the document.

  • Termination of the U.S.S.R.'S Treaty Right of Intervention in Iran
    THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW [Vol. 74 thirds rule in the Senate, the "executive-legislative" (or congressional- presidential) agreement. But it is reasonably inferable that one major reason is that key senators might strongly object. When for the fiscal year 1979 the foreign relations institutions of the United States were "reauthorized" (in a way that some other ministries are not), the Report of the Committee of Conference, in dealing with the tightening amendments to the Case-Zablocki Act, contained, this: The Senate amendment expressed the sense of the Senate that the President should have prior consultations with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as to whether particular agreements between the United States and other countries should be a treaty or an Execu- tive agreement [emphasis added]. The House bill did not contain a comparable provision. The conference substitute contains no provision on this issue.' The fact that the Senate made the effort may show that something more than reporting "all-presidential" executive agreements is in play. The executive could probably make some pretty good bargains with the com- mittee as to which way to go in regard to particular types of international agreements. At least the sense resolution gives the executive a basis for frank discus- sion of which way to go, which may defuse potentially heated objections in the Senate and, if well done, ensure a majority of the Senate will more often approve a legislative-executive agreement as an alternative to a Senate-consented (by two-thirds) "treaty." In time this new dimension for consultation might even be expanded to include the House Committee on International Relations.

  • The Soviet Union's Partnership with India
    MastnyThe Soviet Union’s Partnership with India The Soviet Union’s Partnership with India ✣ Vojtech Mastny The partnership between India and the Soviet Union during the Cold War has been widely regarded as a success story. Although the two coun- tries did not pretend to share the same values, they had no serious conºict of interests and created a model of mutually beneªcial realpolitik. The relation- ship still evokes nostalgia in India, projecting the image of the Soviet Union as a respectful and reliable friend, and has been cited to Americans as an example to emulate. How accurate are these images? How did the two partners really see each other? What did they try to get in building their relationship, and how important to them was what they got? What beneªts did they derive? How can we tell?1 In both countries, most writings on the subject were traditionally of the celebratory kind. More balanced accounts were written by foreign authors, but their value was limited by the inºuence of the ongoing Cold War and by a dearth of reliable sources. Despite India’s American-style “Right to Informa- tion Act,” access to Indian archives has been routinely obstructed by the gov- ernment, which, with its penchant for secrecy, has kept the inside records of its decision-making out of public sight. Although much can be gleaned from private papers of important ofªcials, they are available only through the early 1970s. For later years, retrospective testimonies of fallible eyewitnesses and newspaper reports are the only Indian primary sources we have.2 1.
