SUBJECT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED: CYPRUS FOCUSED MORE ON
LEBANON AND IRAN THAN IRAQ
REF: SECSTATE 159862
Per reftel, PolOff delivered factsheet on the "Declaration of
Principles for a Long-term U.S.-Iraq Relationship" to Foreign
Ministery Attache Dionysis Dionysiou, responsible for Middle
East and African affairs. Due to leave for Brussels the
following day for working-level European Union meetings, he
only glanced briefly through the document before asking if
the Embassy planned soon to demarche on Iran and Lebanon.
Those two countries were of greater concern to Cyprus than
Iraq, which he haughtily considered to be "on the margins."
Nonetheless, he promised to give the factsheet a closer read
and provide any substantive comment after returning to
Nicosia.
