1. (SBU) We delivered the request for Nuclear Smuggling
Outreach Initiative (NSOI) Coordinator Michael Stafford to
visit Turkey soon to present for Turkish officials'
consideration NSOI projects in the Caucasus and Central Asia
(ref a). Gun expressed appreciation for Mr. Stafford's offer
to visit Ankara and said that it would be useful to have more
information regarding these projects. Given Turkey's
commitment to co-host the 10th International EXBS conference
(ref b) and a flurry of other activities for which his office
is responsible in the near term, however, Gun requested to
postpone discussion of Mr. Stafford's visit until after the
EXBS conference (currently scheduled to take place week of
June 22).
2. (SBU) Comment: We will follow up with the MFA at the
earliest opportunity following the EXBS conference to request
MFA support for Mr. Stafford's visit.
