1. (C) We delivered reftel demarche to Turkish MFA Middle
East Department Head Onal November 14, emphasizing the strong
U.S. interest in adoption of the Third Protocol, and our hope
that Turkey would use its OIC leadership role to visibly
support it. Onal said the Turkish position would be
"positive," but expressed uncertainty about Turkey's ability
to persuade many OIC countries. Onal undertook to pass our
points to other "relevant departments" in the MFA.
