Syria Eyes Soviet Equipment Training via Egyptian Officers
Reports from Washington say Egypt offered to train the Syrian Army with Soviet equipment through Egyptian officers resident in Egypt. Syrian Army Chief Maj. Gen. Asif Bizri visited Egypt and was urged to use Egyptians rather than Soviet technicians for nearly two years of training. Some Egyptians would stay in Egypt while Syrians could work with Soviet trained officers in other states. It was unclear if Syria accepted, but officials indicate favorable reception.
