ANKARA, Turkey, Jan. 20 — Turkey's foreign minister said today that his government had decided to allow the United States to use Turkish bases for an attack on Iraq, but that Turkish public opinion was forcing them to drastically scale back the American plans.

Yasar Yakis, the foreign minister, said in an interview that his government had instructed the Turkish military to draft a plan providing for an American force that would be just large enough to tie up Iraqi troops based in the northern part of the country so a larger American force could attack Baghdad from the south.
