INITIATIVE ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR ISSUE

REF: ANKARA 3172


1. (U) Following our conversations with Turkish officials
yesterday on the new USG initiative on Iran (reftel),the
Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) released a
supportive statement on June 1.


2. (U) Text of MFA statement. Unofficial translation. Begin
text.

The U.S. has announced that it is ready to participate in
multiparty negotiations if Iran completely suspends, in a
confirmable way, the uranium enrichment activities that are
part of its nuclear program.

Our country has always provided its utmost support to the
efforts conducted by the international community in order to
find a diplomatic solution to the above mentioned problem.

We believe that responding to the U.S. proposal positively
will strengthen the efforts displayed by the international
community in finding a diplomatic solution to the problem
which is linked with the Iranian nuclear program; will
establish confidence and dialogue among the parties; and will
contribute to regional and international security and
stability.

We hope that our neighbor Iran, as well as other interested
parties, will value this opportunity and take steps that will
enhance the efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the
problem. End text.
