The strengthening of the alliance With England only took place within this framework, which is the general thrust of Turkish foreign policy. "Our discussions were so intimate and so far-reaching that we can also say that our relations with the United States and Russia are almost as warm and strong as those with England. We have examined all aspects with a sometimes brutal publicity, but with understanding. We have experienced many things that we did not know, and our friends have also taken note of things that were unknown to them.
