Ankara, Feb, 11, Doubts whether Mr. Winston Churchill's reference to Bulgaria in his speech will have much effect in that country is expressed in Turkish circles, The references were received with the greatest interest, for a Balkan defensive alliance is Turkey's idea of what would constitute sensible move, It is pointed out that Germany could not easily push into the Balkans 30 Yugoslav divisions, 50 is s, and the Bulgarian Army supported by the British Navy and Air Force, Bulgaria's attitude, however, is believed to be influenced by her revisionist claims, particularly that for a territorial outlet to the Aegean Sea, Further Turkish observers suggest that a Balkan alliance backed by Britain would encounter opposition not only from Germany but possibly from Russia as well, though there are no signs that Russia is prepared to help Yugoslavia or Bulgaria in case of German aggression, In Sofia an official denial that Germans had entered Bulgaria and that Bulgarian aerodromes had been occupied by them was circulated by the official Bulgarian Telegraph Agency at midnight.—Reuter,
