(C) We delivered reftel talking points to MFA NATO Office
Department Head Ihsan Kiziltan on September 7. Kiziltan
reiterated Turkey's position that it would support a NAC
visit to Tbilisi as long as there are no linkages between the
visit and Georgia's prospects for MAP. When asked whether
Turkey would consider encouraging reluctant Allies to support
the visit, Kiziltan said he would "take up the question" with
his superiors.
