(S) On July 18 we delivered reftel points encouraging Russia
to support Kazakhstan to formally compete for the open IAEA
Board of Governors seat to MFA Department for Disarmament and
Security Affairs Nuclear Affairs Officer Alexander Trofimov.
Trofimov said he was aware that Syria is the only candidate
and personally agreed that, given the ongoing IAEA
investigation, Syria would be a poor candidate. He said the
GOR has no formal position at this time, but promised to get
back to us with a response next week.
