Radar coverage in Turkey in 1966

Can any ex-military people help me?

I am interested in which western military radar systems were in place in Turkey after the US removed the Jupiter missiles in 1963. Civil aircraft operating on the airways from west to east across Turkey towards Iran did so under procedural control – as far as I know there was no civil radar control.

However, there must have been military radars in place which would have detected any civil aircraft straying into Soviet airspace towards the Caspian Sea. If so, were they operated by the Turkish military, the US military, or both? And what was their capability?
