1. On July 27, Poloff delivered non paper to Thymen A.
Kouwenaar, Department Head of the Eastern Europe and Central
Asia Division in the MFA, on Dutch coordination with the USG
on promoting democracy and human rights in Azerbaijan.

position, they do not have an embassy in Baku and lack strong
ties with Azerbaijan. He could not provide any concrete
information but said he would contact poloff if he received
more details on Dutch human rights involvement in Azerbaijan.

poloff to follow up on the discussion with Kouwenaar. Voskamp
