1. (SBU) Pol/Econ Chief delivered ref points on North Korean
Missile Launches to MFA Americas Desk officer Elchin Bashirov
on July 6. Bashirov said that although Azerbaijan was
following this issue, because North Korea is not
geographically close to Azerbaijan, he did not expect the MFA
to issue a statement or otherwise react to the launches.
Pol/Econ Chief reminded Bashirov that North Korea also is a
proliferator of ballistic missile technology to rogue states,
including Iran, and that such action poses a threat to all of
Iran's neighbors. Bashirov took note of the point.
