1. (S) Poloff delivered reftel demarche on the updated
information concerning the North Korean flight of
proliferation concern to MFA Americas Desk Chief Ismat
Fayzullaev on April 25. Fayzullaev said that the information
would be relayed to other GOU agencies, and asked whether the
Government of Kazakhstan was being informed. He claimed that
it was more likely that the flight would transit a large
portion of Kazakhstan's airspace than Uzbekistan's. He
repeated an earlier assertion that any such flight would not
transit more than a very small portion of Uzbekistan's
airspace. Fayzullaev said the Government of Uzbekistan (GOU)
would not permit any overflight of aircraft carrying nuclear
material, and asked that if the United States becomes aware
of any such attempt through its intelligence sources, that
such information be relayed to the GOU.
2. (S) Fayzullaev then brought up recent press reporting on
Syrian facilities, noting that these were dangerous to the
Middle East peace process. He said that President Karimov
had initiated a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone in Central Asia,
and that the GOU would welcome something similar in the
Middle East.
