(C) We passed ref a points to MFA South Caucasus Department
Head Suleyman Gokce on May 22. Gokce said the Turkish
government shares U.S. concerns about Russian activities in
South Ossetia and undertook to convey our information to
other relevant offices in the MFA. Turkish officials have
told us frequently that they are worried about creeping
annexation, support the Georgian peace plan for South
Ossetia, and support Georgia's integration with Euro-Atlantic
institutions (refs b,c).
