E.O. 12958: DECL: 08/31/2016 TAGS: NATO, KCFE, MARR, PARM, PREL, TU SUBJECT: TURKEY DOES NOT REQUIRE FOLLOW-UP CONSULTATIONS ON CFE ENTITLEMENTS

REF: STATE 139266

Classified By: Political-Military Counselor Carl Siebentritt, reasons 1 .4 (b) and (d).

(C) Per reftel request, we notified MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department Head Serhan Yigit on August 28 of US gratitude for Turkey's decision to provide a CFE entitlement of 63 tanks, and offered to bring a team of experts to Turkey on September 8 to answer any remaining questions. As anticipated, Yigit informed us that Turkey's questions about the US request have been answered. The GOT has made its decision on the extent of the entitlements it can offer and does not believe that further discussion is necessary. Yigit did state that a bilateral meeting on the margins of the September 21 HLTF meeting should be possible.
