1. (SBU) Together with Russian First Secretary Dmitri Zykov,
we delivered reftel agenda and timeline drafts and points to
Ahmet Muhtar Gun, Head of Department for the MFA's office of
OSCE, Arms Control and Disarmament on December 15. Gun told
us preparations were underway for Turkey's hosting the second
meeting of Global Initiative partners in Ankara on February
12-13, 2007. He said the likely venue for the meeting will
be the Foreign Ministry. He promised to provide logistics
details within a week.
2. (SBU) Gun welcomed the drafts for the agenda, timeline,
and plan of work, and promised comments as soon as possible.
He noted that he would not be able to reply by the target
date of December 18, explaining that he will need more time
to collect feedback from the different GOT agencies and
departments involved. Gun recalled the difficulties his
office encountered in gathering interagency comments prior to
the Rabat meeting, and told us that he believed that the
timeline agreed to at Rabat allowed at least two weeks for
partner countries to respond. We encouraged Gun to provide
us with GOT views as soon as possible.
