1. (C) The Argentine government plans to inform the Iraqi
government in February, that the GOA would allow the GOI to
reopen its Embassy in Buenos Aires "sometime in March", Vice
Foreign Minister Roberto Garcia Moritan told the Ambassador
in a meeting on January 30. Garcia Moritan stressed that the
GOA's reluctance to decide on the matter in January was "not
a political decision". Rather, "the timing was not right"
for a variety of reasons. (Comment: Although this is
welcome news, we would not be surprised if the March
timeframe may slip, as this is when the Interpol Executive
Committee will meet to decide on Argentina,s applications
for international arrest warrants of suspects allegedly
involved in the 1994 terrorist bombing of the Argentine
Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA)).
