US embassy cable - 05ANKARA3166

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.  Further to ref A and C demarches, Turkish MFA Head of 
Multilateral Economic Affairs Department Arar wrote the 
following in an email to Poloff: "We know the reasons behind 
the US position on the regular budget of the ILO.  However it 
is difficult to support you on on this subject either, as the 
increase forseen in the budget will not lead to an overall 
increase in the countries' contribution levels.  In addition, 
the general feeling is for the increase.  The US is providing 
some 20 plus percent of the 'technical budget' of the ILO. 
If you want to make cuts, you can do it there.  In this case 
nobody will challenge you." 
 
2.  Further to ref B and C demarches, Mr. Arar wrote:  "As I 
told you, we have already promised Cuba our support through a 
mutual support agreement.  We cannot come back on our 
position on this issue."
