1. (C) We approached MFA Head of Department for Disarmament
and Arms Control Osman Yavuzalp July 25 an update on Turkey's
position on flank entitlements (ref a). According to
Yavuzalp, Turkey, Greece and Norway had discussed the issue
on the margins of the March 14 HLTF and agreed on Turkey's
proposed contribution--which he did not detail. Yavuzalp did
not expect any further discussion between the three during
the summer, but said that Turkey planned to talk to Athens
and Oslo at the end of August or in early September in
advance of the September 21 HLTF.


2. (C) Yavuzalp indicated that Turkey does not have further
questions regarding our flank entitlement transfer request at
this time. He did not foresee any barriers to the US plan to
complete the flank transfers by the end of 2006.
