B. FEATHERSTONE-RICH E-MAILS

1. We delivered reftel demarche jointly with Italian PolCouns
Lucio Demichele on February 22 to Gulin Dinc, Head of
Department, MFA International Political Organizations. We
emphasized that the program was designed for training of
trainers and that we would be prepared to send a joint
U.S.-Italian Mobile Assistance Team to Turkey to explain the
program in detail upon confirmation of GOT interest. We
suggested the May 7 course start date for middle managers and
the May 21 date for senior level trainers.

2. Dinc was familiar with the program objectives from the
non-paper drawn from reftel we had previously provided to
MFA. She expressed appreciation for the invitations and
promised to elicit an early confirmation of interest from the
Turkish National Police (TNP) and Turkish Jandarma.
