We delivered ref A demarche and points October 25 to Turkish
MFA Americas Department Head Onder. In addition, we provided
Onder a copy of Vladimiro Roca's October 7 open letter to
Spanish PM Zapatero stressing the importance of the EU Common
Policy for Cuba's democratic activists. We added ref B's

democratic opposition. Onder made no substantive reply, but
undertook to convey our message to senior levels of the MFA.
