1. As requested reftel, EST contacted the Department of Natural
Resources to determine who was expected to represent Russia at the
September 12-13 BSEC Symposium in Istanbul, as no names of
recommended invitees were provided by Department. We were informed
that Ms. Natalya Tretyakova, Department for International
Cooperation, Ministry of Natural Resources, would most likely
attend.

official to invite, and will pass information directly to EUR/PGI
when available.
