Summary:

Appendices (pages 19-63) contain the texts of agreements and treaties defining international alliances and mutual defense commitments in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, a statistical summary of Greek and Turkish armed forces, and a list of U.S. and NATO bases in Greece and Turkey.

Study prepared by John M. Collins of CRS for the Special Subcom on Investigations assessing the strategic significance of continued Greek and Turkish support of NATO and U.S. military policy in the eastern Mediterranean in view of recent hostilities precipitated by the July 1974 Cyprus uprising.

Summarizes background and scope of principal U.S. military and foreign aid commitments to Greece and Turkey, and evaluates the relative benefits gained by mutual defense cooperation, including deterrence of undue Soviet influence in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Also examines the strategic importance of military bases and facilities presently installed in Greece and Turkey.
