US embassy cable - 03ANKARA6164

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.

LEGISLATION 
 
 
(SBU) During a September 30 meeting with ATC Chairman 
Scowcroft, Prime Minister Erdogan asked what had happened to 
the Qualifying Industrial Zone legislation.  In an October 1 
conversation with MFA Deputy U/S Alev Kilic, DCM asked for 
clarification of Erdogan's question.  Kilic responded that 
the GOT was still interested in QIZ legislation, even with 
textiles excluded, and would welcome legislation along the 
lines of that discussed last year. He added that the MFA 
expected the issue to be on the agenda for December's EPC 
meeting.
