" ANKARA. Dec. S-(Deleyedi- (AM-Turkey's foreign policy was left unchanged by the Cairo con- ference. but he relations with Great Britain. te United States and Russia were greatly strength- ened. foreign minister Ntunsn Menemencioglu announced today.

Making the first Mithoritative statement since his and n sident Isuiet menu's return from the meeting at Cairo with Prime Min- ister Churchill and sident Roosevelt, the foreign minister told a press ccnference:—

"As you already noticed in the official communique. our alliance with England emerged consider- ably stren . (lie stressed the word considerably.) can tell you our talks were so intimate and friendly that we can say today our relations with America and Russia are almost the gidlllO as with England."

Meriemericloglu asserted that “our foreign policy has not chang- ed" and throughout the conference he was careful not to give any im- plication that Turkey is nearer to actual partcipation in the war. But in answer to a direct ques- tion he said that the Cairo talks hsd led Turkey closer to the Allied

camp.

Calling the conference "one of the most important events in this lphlle of the war." the foreign

minister said. "we come back from "Cairo very content and satisfied."
