1. As reported in ref A, DCM delivered reftel points to Vice
Foreign Minister Raymond Johansen on March 31, asking that
Norway contact Greece, particularly PM Karamanlis, directly
on the name issue. Demarche points contained in Ref B were
delivered on April 18. In response the MFA stated that Norway
fully supports UN Special Envoy Nimetz on this issue and that
they were relying on the Nimetz process to resolve this
issue. The GON is not planning to contact Greece directly on
this issue.
