(SBU) Embassy Baghdad has confirmed that no Iraqis are able to participate and at this time IRMO is unable to fund Iraqi participation for the proposed launching of the Iraqi Gas Working Group in Ankara on January 11. Therefore we recommend that the January 11 meeting be postponed to a later date when appropriate Iraqi participation can be assured. Turkish Energy Minister Guler asked us to consider launching a U.S.-Turkey-Iraq meeting on Iraqi gas related to facilitating transit of Caspian and other gas supplies to Europe. Guler agreed to postpone the proposed meeting until the most productive date. We propose to work with Baghdad and the Department in January to reschedule a launch meeting for this process for assessing and facilitating development of Iraqi gas for domestic use and export.
