1. (U) On June 4 we contacted Amelia Siderova, in the MFA's
Department of Security and Disarmament Affairs (DVBR),and
asked her to clarify (REFTEL) Russia's position on the
potential participation of the European Union in the Global
Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT). Siderova
responded unequivocally that Russia's view remains unchanged
from the agreement reached between U/S Joseph and Deputy
Foreign Minister Kislyak in Ankara: the EU should be
considered for observer status only after all 27 EU Member
States have joined the GICNT.
