1. (C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to MFA OIC desk
officer Elmar Alizada on March 4. Alizada was grateful for
the information, noting that Deputy Foreign Minister Sadikov,
who covers OIC issues, was interested in obtaining
information about Sada Cumber. The Ambassador is also
sending a letter to Foreign Minister Mammadyarov on Cumber's
appointment.
2. (C) Poloff spoke with Alizada on March 6 about a
requested bilateral meeting between Cumber and a GOAJ
delegation representative on the sidelines of the OIC
conference on March 13-14. Alizada said Sadikov and
Mammadyarov will both be at the summit, and he promised to
raise this request with Sadikov. Alizada said he will let
the Embassy know if Sadikov or Mammadyarov can meet with
Cumber. The Embassy will convey any new information to the
Department.
3. (C) Comment: Azerbaijan has been trying to play a
moderating role within the OIC; last year, for example, the
GOAJ hosted a large international conference on tolerance and
the media. We believe Azerbaijan could play a helpful role
in building mutual understanding and dialogue between the
U.S. and the OIC. We invite Mr. Cucumber to visit at his
earliest convenience.
