In recent months, however, Demirel has begun some mild flirting of his own. He has received Rumanian Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer and Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ivan Bashev, sent official delegations to Poland, Russia and Albania. Last week Demirel welcomed his biggest Communist visitor yet: Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin, the first Russian Premier ever to visit Turkey...
