1. (C) ANALYSTS GREATLY APPRECIATED POST'S TIMELY REPORT ON
NAWSHIRWAN MUSTAFA, DEPUTY SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE PATRIOTIC
UNION OF KURDISTAN. ANALYSTS FOUND THE REPORT VERY USEFUL
AND SPECIFICALLY APPRECIATED THE DETAILED BIOGRAPHICAL DATA
AND ITS SUPPORT TO UNDERSTANDING MUSTAFA'S MOTIVATION AND
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, PARTICULARLY HIS EARLY RELATIONSHIP
WITH IRAQI PRESIDENT TALABANI IN THE 1970S. ALSO OF GREAT
INTEREST WAS MUSTAFA'S VIEW OF KURDISTAN'S PROPER PLACE
WITHIN A UNIFIED IRAQ. AS WASHINGTON ANALYSTS ARE TRYING TO
GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONS
OF IRAQI LEADERS IN ADVANCE OF THE UPCOMING KURDISTAN
REGIONAL GOVERNMENT AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS, FURTHER SUCH
REPORTING ON IRAQI LEADERS FROM POST WOULD BE MUCH
APPRECIATED, TIME AND RESOURCES PERMITTING. MANY THANKS, AND
REGARDS FROM WASHINGTON.
