1. (SBU) We have provided reftel's non-paper to several
different offices at the Turkish MFA, particularly those
involved in the recent Policy Planning Talks: the Americas
desk,
their Policy Planning shop and the Office of Multilateral
Economic Affairs. S/P Krasner raised the PDG in his February
22
meetings here, with excellent resonance, and we understand he
has
also raised the issue with the Turkish Embassy in Washington.
2. (SBU) With the Office of Multilateral Economic Affairs,
which has responsibility for OECD issues, we urged Turkish
support, including financial, for the PDG and in particular
asked for their support at the March 20 Council Meeting.
Though our Turkish counterpart said they do not yet have a
definite position, she said Turkey would give positive
consideration to our proposal.
