1. (S/NF) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) arranged a
meeting with poloff on February 25 to pass an official
response to our recent demarche (reftel) and diplomatic notes
requesting cooperation on a flight of interest between North
Korea, Syria, and Iran. The response noted that the outbound
flight JS-621 from North Korea to Syria did not pass through
Uzbek territory. However, on January 17 the Government of
Uzbekistan granted permission for the February 14 return
flight JS-622 from Teheran to North Korea to traverse Uzbek
territory. The response stated that the IL-62 aircraft did
not land at any Uzbek airports. MFA Americas Desk Chief
Ismat Fayzullaev added that the flight traversed a "small,
remote part of our airspace" away from major airport
facilities.
