US embassy cable - 03ANKARA1041

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.

(C) Econoff delivered reftel demarche on the USG's decision 
not to participate in the February 15-16 Swiss conference on 
international humanitarian planning to Feza Ozturk, MFA Head 
of Department for International Political Organizations, on 
February 7.  Ozturk agreed that the Swiss conference might 
not be productive, as it appears to have been 
hastily-organized and will likely coincide with a UNSC 
session on Iraq.  However, he said the GOT would probably 
send Geneva-based representatives to the meeting, unless 
other governments from the region decided not to attend. 
Ozturk said it was virtually certain that no Ankara-based 
representatives would travel to Geneva for the conference.
