“...of the rapprochement which has been reached between the two countries. It is even more significant that there has been a distinct improvement in Turco-Bulgarian relations, for the common front in South-Eastern Europe for which both Turkey and Italy are striving must include Bulgaria if it is to be really effective. Iraq and Arab Independence Iraq’s attitude with regard to the position of Arabs in Palestine and Syria was touched on by the Iraqi Prime Minister, General Nuri es-Said, in a speech before the adjournment of Parliament.
