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: TURKEY INTERIM RESPONSE ON AVIAN FLU PARTNERSHIP
REF: A. A) STATE 164134
B. B) ANKARA 5119
1. Turkey was not able to deliver a definite response to
our request for commitment to join an international
partnership on avian and pandemic influenza (REF A).
Officials at MFA and the Ministries of Health and Agriculture
said the proposal looked positive, but were unable to give an
official response. The Ministry of Health commented that
they would likely follow the lead of the WHO, as they do for
general policy and steps on avian influenza. The GOT
welcomes exchange of information (REF B).
2. On September 7, Charge delivered Ref A points and paper
to MFA U/S Ali Tuygan. On the same day, EconOff delivered
the points and paper to MFA International Political
Organizations Department Head Levent Sahinkaya, who promised
a more substantive response next week, based on coordination
with the Ministry of Health. AgCounselor delivered the
points to officials at the Ministries of Health and
Agriculture.
