1. On July 6, 2004, the Turkish MFA forwarded by diplomatic 
note a request to sell U.S.-origin H-300C helicopters to 
"Anadolu Havacilik Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited 
Sirketi" (Anatolian Aviation and Avionics, Ltd.), a Turkish 
firm which represents a U.S. firm, Globe Aero, Ltd.  The 
request contained no/no information about the helos, 
including how they were obtained from the United States.  In 
an Oct. 21, 2004 meeting on the status of a number of Turkish 
third-party transfer cases, emboffs requested that the GOT 
provide further information on this request, such as how and 
when the GOT obtained the helos, how many it planned to sell, 
the original acquisition value, and their estimated current 
value. 
 
2. On Feb. 15, 2005, Embassy received another diplomatic note 
with further information attached.  We then noticed that the 
helos listed were the same as those for which Turkey had 
successfully applied for USG clearance to sell to another 
firm, Air Consult (see refs).  On Feb. 23, PolMilOff 
contacted Ali Gunay of MFA's Americas Desk, who reported that 
the helos in question were put up for tender by the Ministry 
of Defense.  Apparently as interested companies (so far only 
two) submit bids, the GOT is then seeing if the USG will 
allow the transfer.  PolMilOff pointed out that this seems 
like an extraordinarily long tender (opened in 2002) and 
asked when it would close.  Gunay responded that MOD had not 
established a final closing date, but he expected that bids 
would close by the end of this year.  Post is faxing notes 
and enclosures for both these cases to PM/RSAT (attention 
Todd Hughes). 
 
3. BEGIN TEXT OF MFA NOTE NUMBER 2004/ALGY/284768:

Sirketi" which represents a U.S. company named "Glove Aero 
Limited."

Anadolu Havacilik Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited
