1. (SBU) We delivered reftel demarche on April 21 jointly
with Dutch and Russian embassy representatives to MFA
Nonproliferation and Disarmament Section Head Mustafa
Yurdakul. Yurkdakul noted Turkey's support for the goals and
principles of the Global Initiative and pointed to Turkey's
role as host of the second plenary meeting in 2007 as an
indication of Turkey's commitment to contribute to the effort
to prevent nuclear terrorism. He, however, reiterated the
GOT's disappointment that the understanding reached at the
first GICNT plenary concerning a consensus-based approach to
inviting new members had been breached. As a result,
Yurdakul explained, the GOT is no longer inclined to
participate in the initiative at a senior level. He said the
MFA will ask working-level representatives from the Turkish
embassy in The Hague to represent the GOT at the plenary.
