In this context, it should be noted that in Cairo, in the midst of the powers of the people of Europe, amusing differences in the key can be noted, following these reports, in which the joint demand for Turkey's entry into the Kreg was put forward. In the face of the renewed Turkish harsh rejection, the narrow countries, which were still so cautious at the November meetings, left the skin and tried unsuccessfully to throng with the cessation of the war material deliveries, otherwise only the suspicion of Moscow would be nourished that England wanted to arm Turkey against the Soviet Union. On the other hand, Roosevelt had some understanding of the Turkish arguments on display. His close involvement with the Turkish state members was followed by the English with shy glances and disturbed by the possibility. As for the Soviet representative Vyzhinsky, he arrived in Cairo post-declaration, so that Numan later had to explain to the press that the Soviet Union was also present at the meetings without Uyzhinski. At the conference itself and later in Ankara åus, the demand of the enemy powers for Turkey to enter the war was rejected in all its forms on the grounds that 1) Turkey's internal situation 2) the poor state of Turkish armament 3) the unexplained policy of the Allies in the Balkans makes such a step impossible. In particular, the expansion of airfields and air protection is completely inadequate in view of the danger that the entry into war or even the surrender of airspaces to the enemies will be answered with an attack by the Axis powers. The con- stellation created by the Cairo Conference has suddenly shed light on the tense situation in which the British alliance of l939 was led and the almost hindrance of the crisis. It is clear that a war entry on the part of the enemies will not save it from the clutches of the Soviet Union; that any English-American guarantee would also have to be worthless if it were to be reached at all. If Turkey wants to remain a European power and master of the straits, it is essential for it that the Balkans remain free from Russian influence. However, since the Balkans seems to be freed from the Western powers as well as the northern part of Iran from all other Turkish border countries, the latter are not allowed to join the European Union.
