1. (C) We delivered ref a demarche to Turkish MFA Disarmament
and Arms Control First Secretary Guven Begec on July 12.
Begec said Turkey was also very concerned by the North Korean
launches and noted the MFA's statement in reaction to the
launches (ref b). Begec informed us that he has been
following the situation and statements by other countries and
organizations closely and has seen a consistent message of
disapproval from the international community. However, he
said the lack of a strong statement by the United Nations
Security Council is very noticeable at this time.
2. (C) Begec added that the GOT has been concerned about the
apparent close cooperation between North Korea and Iran for
some time. He said that FM Gul's talking points for his
recent meetings with Iranian officials have included warnings
to Iran to distance itself from North Korea's weapons and
nuclear programs. He assured us that the GOT will continue
to raise these concerns with Iran.
