1. (U) This is an action request --see para 3.
2. (C) We delivered talking points to Turkish MFA
Disarmament and Arms Control First Secretary Serhan Yigit on
April 11. Yigit responded that he would discuss the request
with senior MFA and Turkish General Staff exercise
developers. Yigit expressed concern about the short time
frame remaining before the exercise in late May. Yigit also
informed us that GOT still has not received any replies from
some countries we previously requested to be invited to the
exercise: Israel, Morocco, Republic of Korea and Tunisia.
3. (SBU) Action Request: Most GOT officials working on the
exercise are currently attending the PSI Operations Expert
Group meeting this week in Miami. We recommend that the U.S.
delegation in Miami discuss our request with the Turkish
delegation there. We also recommend that posts in countries
to which the U.S. specifically requested invitations be sent,
encourage appropriate government officials to respond to the
Turkish invitation.
