(C) In response to reftel points, MFA State expert Oleg
Doychinov told us that Bulgaria agreed with the P5 1
position, and was in line with the European position on this
issue. On July 12, Foreign Minister Kalfin called in the
Iranian Ambassador to deliver the message that the Incentive
Package was the best possible opportunity for Iran at this
time, and that this was the last opportunity to resolve the
situation. Kalfin reportedly said that Iran must seriously
consider the proposal now, according to Doychinov. The
Iranian ambassador replied that Iran wanted to "talk", but
will not yet suspend its enrichment program, citing Iran's
"inalienable right to develop (its) nuclear program. Kalfin
said the right to develop a nuclear program was limited to
one for "peaceful purposes", said Doychinov.
