1. (SBU) The Turks share our concerns regarding the lack of
balance in the NAM-sponsored UNGA resolutions related to the
situation of children and human rights in Lebanon. We
delivered reftel points October 26 to Turkish MFA Middle East
Department Officer Cem Ulusoy, following a three-day end of
Ramadan holiday.
2. (SBU) Ulusoy said MFA had already instructed its mission
in New York to seek a more balanced approach on the
resolutions, to take into account the suffering of all
victims, including children, in both Lebanon and Israel.
Ulusoy stressed that as an EU candidate country Turkey will
coordinate its position with the EU. He also noted, however,
that it would be difficult for Turkey to vote against the
resolutions, particularly the one related to the situation of
children. Ulusoy assured us the GOT's mission in New York
will be working to seek a more reasonable approach that can
attract broad support.
