(C) We delivered REFTEL points to MFA East Asia Head of
Department, Bleda Kacar, on 22 May. Kacar appreciated the
points, but provided no information on Turkey's position on
the issue. We followed up with Kacar again on May 27, still
with no substantive reply. Nevertheless, given Ankara,s
past stance vis--vis Burma, we would expect Turkey to join
UNSC consensus and to take a critical view of the Burmese
regime's actions against Aung San Suu Kyi.
