US embassy cable - 05WARSAW3194

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. (C) Post delivered reftel demarche to the Polish MFA's 
European department, underscoring our concern about possible 
attempts to impose additional pre-conditions for Turkish EU 
accession negotiations.  Polish MFA desk officer for Turkey 
Patrycja Ozcan assured us that the Polish government fully 
backs Turkish EU membership and does not support the 
introduction of new conditions -- such as immediate 
recognition of Cyprus -- in advance of October 3.  Post was 
informed separately by the Turkish embassy in Warsaw that a 
visiting Turkish delegation had heard similar assurances last 
week from Polish MFA and other officials, including from an 
EU department head who pledged that Poland will "fight" for 
Turkish membership within the EU. 
 
2. (C) Post will reiterate reftel message in an upcoming 
meeting with the Polish MFA on the September 1-2 Gymnich 
agenda, and will report from that exchange any Polish views 
on internal EU dynamics on Turkey.
