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.

C O N F I D E N T I A L MANAMA 001839 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 12/09/2014 TAGS: PREL, ETRD, BA, GCC SUBJECT: BAHRAIN TO PROCEED WITH GCC SUMMIT REF: MANAMA 1829 Classified By: Ambassador William T. Monroe. Reason: 1.4 (B)(D) (C) Bahrain Foreign Minister Shaykh Mohammed called the Ambassador December 9 to say that Bahrain, after reviewing recent developments regarding Saudi Arabia and the FTA (reftel), has decided that it will proceed with hosting the GCC Summit as scheduled on December 20-21. At the same time, he said, Bahrain is sticking to its position on its FTA with the U.S.: it was signed and it will go forward. If the Saudis wish to form a committee within the GCC context to study the possibilities for future FTAs, that can be considered. But it will not affect what Bahrain is doing, and Bahrain hopes it will not affect the position of the other GCC countries. MONROE
