US embassy cable - 04ANKARA386

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.

(SBU) Economic Counselor and Econoff delivered reftel 
points responding to the GOT's Qualifying Industrial 
Zones (QIZ) proposal on January 21 to Mehmet Gucuk, MFA 
Deputy Director General for Bilateral Economic Affairs, 
as well as by diplomatic note.  Gucuk told us he had 
already received the paper through Turkey's Washington 
Embassy and would share it with the Foreign Trade 
Undersecretariat shortly.  Gucuk stated that MFA would 
work hard to obtain a GOT interagency consensus on 
whether to proceed with a QIZ with the sectoral 
restrictions described reftel, but opined that this 
might not happen before the Prime Minister's visit to 
Washington next week.  He hinted that MFA would support 
a textile-free QIZ against Foreign Trade opposition.
