Ever ready to stoke up Arab rivalries and suspicions, Russia's Foreign Minister Dmitry Shepilov accused Britain, France and Israel of planning "new aggression" against Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, and Radio Moscow bristled against Turkey and Iraq. Just in case Syria's anti-Communist neighbors were genuinely worried about a foray from Syria, the U.S. State Department announced that it would view "with the utmost gravity" any threat to "the territorial integrity or political independence" of any member of the Baghdad Pact. This was also meant to remove from Turkey and Iraq any pretext for moving into Syria...
...Deputy Foreign Minister Endre Sik, by his own admission a former Soviet citizen, flatly denied that any deportations were taking place and contended that "this declaration by our government makes it clear that there is nothing for the General Assembly to discuss."

Mr. Zorin and Mr. Sobolev. I can only conclude, after hearing Mr. Shepilov's speech today, that the man who writes the speeches is still the same...
...Next day Shepilov's Foreign Ministry said that, anyhow, the U.S.S.R. was withdrawing Soviet troops from Budapest (but not Hungary) because their "further presence [could] cause even greater deterioration of the situation." The Soviet Union now recognized the basis of the Hungarian revolt as being the Hungarian working people's legitimate "struggle against bureaucratic distortions in the state apparatus." But it solemnly warned the Hungarians against "forces of black reaction," which are "trying to take advantage of the discontent...
