1. (C) The Ambassador made REFTEL points to MFA U/S
Sinirlioglu on September 14, underscoring that congratulatory
messages should not be premature. Sinirlioglu said Ankara

about extending congratulations. He noted that the Turkish
Government "has no doubt" that President Karzai won the
election, but nevertheless prefers to wait until the results
are official.
