US embassy cable - 04ANKARA1767

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.

PolMilOff delivered reftel points to MFA Disarmament Head of 
Department Bulent Meric March 23, emphasizing the importance 
of this final prepcom before the 2005 revcon.  Meric said he 
would review the US points and noted that, like the USG, the 
GOT was "disturbed that the NPT has shortcomings" as revealed 
in the cases of Iran and DPRK.  The GOT was prepared to 
devote much effort to making the New York prepcom a success. 
Meric asserted that a WEOG meeting to coordinate positions 
prior to the prepcom would be very useful
