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.

Organizations Department. Meeting with Econoff on February

Political Organizations, provided the GOT's response to ref B
offer of access to U.S. smallpox and anthrax vaccines.
Ozturk stated that the GOT would like to receive vaccines for
30,000 persons for smallpox and 70,000 persons for anthrax.
The GOT would dedicate vaccine for 20,000 military personnel
for both smallpox and anthrax from these amounts, and would
also be interested in receiving a civilian/military expert
team to discuss the vaccines. Ozturk also requested
confirmation that there would be no charge to Turkey for the
vaccines.
