   Dear Ibrahim-
    
   Thank you so much. We also look forward to seeing you and meetings in
   Ankara. We will be at the Hilton International hotel. There is a driver
   picking us up when we arrive at 1a.m. on June 3. Let us know the time for
   our first meeting when you have that locked in.
    
   Also re tonight I hope it goes well too. Do you know if there is any
   security for this event since it's a public event? Do they normally check
   people coming in to the hall or no?
    
   Best regards,
   Meredith

   Thank you Ozan - that sounds good. Also tomorrow night June 3 we will
   return to Istanbul on a 7p.m. Turkish Airlines flight from Ankara that
   arrives IST at 8:05p.m. If that changes at all to a later flight we'll
   notify you but please have a driver to meet us tomorrow night when we
   return as well.
    
   Best,

   Dear Mrs. Friedman,

   Good morning. Here are the answers of your questions.

    

    1. Public Lecture will be at CRR Concert Hall. So it is close to your
       hotel.
    2. If your meeting at Sabah finishes at 4:30 PM, than you will have time
       to go back to your hotel and you should leave the hotel around 6:20 PM
       (but not later than that)
    3. You wrote me that you flight to Ankara is at 23:55 so you suppose to
       be at the airport not later than 23:10. That means you suppose to move
       to airport at 22:40. Well under this circumstances you may have some
       time to go back to the hotel. You will have about an hour to spend.
    4. The driver will be there at the hotel at 11:15 as I mentioned before.
       If you can not find him at the lobby please call me.

    

   Best regards,

   Dear Ozan -

    

   Thank you for meeting us when we arrived in Istanbul yesterday. We have
   the 3 meetings tomorrow that I sent you but I don't know the address of
   the Public Lecture meeting at 7p.m. - do you know where it is or shall I
   write to our contact to ask?

    

   Also will we have time to come back to our hotel after the afternoon
   meeting at Sabah which should go probably from 3p.m.- 4:30p.m.?

    

   Second will we have time to come back to the hotel after the public
   lecture before going to the airport as we'll need to pick up some luggage
   to take with us. Please advise on timing for needing to leave for the
   airport and whether we should bring our luggage when we leave to go to the
   public lecture?

    

   best regards,

    

   Meredith Friedman

This website hosts an archive of STRATFOR's emails released by WikiLeaks under "The Global Intelligence Files" project. The emails, dated between July 2004 and late December 2011, reveal confidential email communications between the private intelligence agency, Strategic Forecasting Inc. or STRATFOR, based in Austin, Texas and several large corporations including Bhopal’s Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defense Intelligence Agency.
