US embassy cable - 03ANKARA5073

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (U) Classified by Acting Pol-Mil Counselor Harry Kamian. 
Reasons 1.5 (b) and (d). 
 
 
2. (C) On August 8, polmiloff passed reftel paper to Omur 
Yurdakul, First Secretary in the MFA's Disarmament 
Department. Yurdakul indicated that the GOT would likely 
support all three reftel proposals at the MTCR plenary. 
Yurdakul also noted that the GOT is working to implement 
catch-all controls officially, but that it already, in 
practice, acts as if such controls are on the books. 
 
 
3. (U) Yurdakul said that the head of the Turkish delegation 
to the MTCR plenary will be the Turkish Ambassador to 
Argentina. Yurdakul will attend for the MFA. Five other 
officials from Ankara will also attend: two from the Turkish 
General Staff, one from the Ministry of National Defense, one 
from the Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade, and one from the 
Customs department.
