1. (C) Ambassador briefed Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Mammadyarov January 18 on reftel A points about President
Bush's policy announcement on Iraq. The Ambassador explained
that the points were previously briefed to Deputy Foreign
Minister Khalafov (reftel B).


2. (C) Mammadyarov responded that "we support the USG
position" and affirmed that Azerbaijan will keep its
contingent in Iraq. Mammadyarov said he has spoken with
Turkey about using the Organization of the Islamic Conference
(OIC) to push for reconciliation between Sunnis and Shiites
in Iraq. He also observed that the International Compact
with Iraq was "very intriguing," and held out the possibility
of partnering with the USG and Iraq in this initiative as
necessary.
