AN EGYPTIAN COLLEAGUE TOLD US THAT A VISIT BY QIAN TO TURKEY HAD ALSO BEEN UNDER DISCUSSION. CHINESE HAD TOLD HIM THIS WOULO NOT NOW TAKE PLACE BECAUSE OF TURKISH ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF MUSLIMS IN XINJIANG, THE EGYPTIAN WOULD NOT ACCEPT THIS (NOT LEAST BECAUSE HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE TURKS WERE ACTIVE IN XINJIANG). WHEN HE PRESSED, IT WAS MINTED THAT QIAN'S VISIT TO CYPRUS (AND TO THE BREEK PART OF IT) HAD PROVED UNACCEPTABLE TO THE TURKS. (WE HAVE NO INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION OF THIS).
