    "MOST POWERFUL MILITARY FRIENDSHIP IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

   [MER - While the misnomered "peace process" continues to
dominate the news, arms continue to flood into the Middle
East region and possible war preparations are underway.
   The Israeli military, with ever-increasing U.S. help, has
actually increased its military budget since the "peace process"
began.  And the Americans have recently agreed to provide
additional hundreds of millions of dollars for anti-missile
defenses, "anti-terrorism", and the prepositioning of military
stockpiles in the U.S. for immediate war-time transfer to Israel.
   One of the most important regional military and political
developments in the past few years is the still-growing Israeli-
Turkish/U.S. military alliance.  The Israelis are further
badgering and challenging the weak Arab regimes, now with Turkey
added to their arsenal.  And the Turkish military is strengthening
itself should it circumvent Turkish "democracy" with a military
government to prevent the Islamic movement from gaining any further
power and should civil war result, as has been the case in Algeria.
   Both the U.S. and Israel have been courting Turkish military
leaders urging them to severely pressure the Turkish government away
from its new "Islamic" orientation, and if not successful to instigate
a coup.

      REMARKABLE MILITARY COOPERATION - TURKEY AND ISRAEL

	"OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, TURKEY AND ISRAEL HAVE
	QUIETLY FORGED A REMARKABLE PROGRAM OF MILITARY
	COOPERATION.  IN THE PROCESS, THEY HAVE CREATED
	WHAT IS NOW THE MOST POWERFUL MILITARY FRIENDSHIP
	IN THE MIDDLE EAST...  THE RELATIONSHIP CAN ONLY
	MAKE ISRAELI LEADERS MORE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN
	TAKE TOUGH POSITIONS IN DEALING WITH THEIR ARAB
	NEIGHBORS.  AN ALLIANCE WITH TURKEY COULD GO A
	LONG WAY TOWARD NEUTRALIZING SYRIA IN ANY MAJOR
	CRISIS.  IT COULD ALSO MAKE SYRIA THINK TWICE
	ABOUT STIRRING UP TROUBLE TO ISRAEL'S NORTH,
	HOWEVER PREOCCUPIED ISRAEL MAY BE WITH QUELLING
	UNREST AMONG THE PALESTINIANS."
