Classified By: Ambassador Ross Wilson for reasons 1.4 (b,d).

(C) Following high-level approaches to senior Turkish officials by U/S Nicholas Burns (refs a and b) and Ambassador (ref c), we provided detailed points in ref d to MFA NATO Department Head Ihsan Kiziltan on January 23. Referring to Turkey's extensive financial, reconstruction and military contributions in Afghanistan to date, Kiziltan said that FM Gul would not bring any additional commitments to the January 26 NATO Foreign Ministerial. He noted, however, that Turkey's ISAF contribution would increase from 770 to nearly 950 troops as Turkey undertakes its rotation in command of ISAF Region Capital in April.
