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.

SUBJECT: LETTER FROM KRG PM BARZANI TO AMBASSADOR EDELMAN
REF: A. BAGHDAD 297
B. AMB. EDELMAN-PETER THOMPSON EMAIL 1/24/05 (NOTAL)
Classified By: Ambassador Eric S. Edelman for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (C) Embassy Ankara concurs with Embassy Baghdad's advice
(ref a) that Ambassador Edelman should not respond to KRG PM
Nechirvan Barzani's letter. Ambassador said as much in ref
b. We do, however, recommend that Embassy Baghdad or REO
Kirkuk assure Barzani and other contacts that Ambassador
Edelman never told the Turkish press anything other than that
the rights of all those who were adversely affected by
efforts to change the demography in Saddam's time should be
addressed by a transparent, law-based restitution process as
called for under Article 58 of the TAL. Indeed, as early as
last spring Embassy Ankara called for accelerating the
process of establishing the Iraqi Property Claims Commission.
2. (U) Baghdad minimize considered.
EDELMAN
