1. (U) Classified by Deputy Chief of Mission Robert Deutsch.
Reasons 1.5 (b) and (d).



2. (C) Embassy Ankara understands that Secretary Powell will
attend the June 21-23 World Economic Forum meeting in Jordan.
We received a call on June 16 from the acting DDG for the
Americas at the MFA, who requested a bilat for FM Gul with
Secretary Powell, schedule permitting, at the meeting in

SIPDIS
Jordan.



3. (C) If the Secretary's schedule permits, we recommend a
bilat with FM Gul. This is a good opportunity for the two to
discuss Iraq and Middle East policy, other essential policy
areas, and U.S.-Turkey cooperation on these issues.
