US embassy cable - 03ANKARA7506

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.  (SBU) Turkish MFA Caucasus Department Head Murat Adali 
told poloff on December 8 that Turkey would provide 
humanitarian aid to Georgia in the form of food.  According 
to Adali, Georgian Finance Minister Nogaideli had been in 
contact with the GOT and indicated that Georgia's most urgent 
need was food for the military and other state institutions, 
including schools and jails. 
 
 
2.  (SBU) Adali said the Turkish military and Red Crescent 
were collecting food; Adali said the GOT was working from a 
list of 26 food items requested by the GOG.  Turkey will also 
transport the food to Georgia.  The GOG said it needed one 
month's supply of food, which it estimated would cost 
approximately USD 1 million.  Adali speculated that the GOT 
would supply the entire month's amount requested by the GOG.
