(SBU) We confirmed that the Dutch ambassador to Turkey
informed the MFA on December 19 of the Netherlands' plan to
host the fifth round of the Global Initiative to Combat
Nuclear Terrorism in June 2009 at the Hague. We delivered
reftel demarche on December 23 to MFA Nonproliferation and
Disarmament Department Head Elif Ulgen, who congratulated the
Dutch, but stated Turkey's intention not to participate in
the meeting at a senior level due to its concerns about
Cypriot participation in the initiative. Turkey will likely
send a representative from its embassy at The Hague. Ulgen
said a similar message was provided to the Dutch ambassador.
The Russian Embassy had received instructions to deliver the
demarche, but has not done so as of January 15.
