OFFICIAL SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF AUSTRALIA |
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: PROTECTED |
| 20 April 2007 |
| Dear Chief of Staff Yilmaz, Her Excellency Dame Quentin Bryce, the Governor-General of Australia, is planning on attending the Anzac Day commemorations this year at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25th. As always, there will be numerous dignitaries of the Australian and New Zealand Governments and respective Defence Forces in attendance at Anzac Day, including Vice Chief of the Australian Defence Force, Lieutenant General David Hurley. And as always, Turkey is always invited to send their own dignitaries and members of their Armed Forces. However, none of these visits shall be taken as official visits and we do not expect any meetings to take place between official representatives of our governments. We require that an RAAF VIP aircraft be able to land at Canakkale Airport to deliver Her Excellency to Anzac Cove. The Australian Embassy in Ankara will organise her transport on the ground. As always there will also be thousands of citizens of Australians and New Zealanders who will make the annual pilgrimage and we expect they are given the utmost hospitality and will have free passage without hindrance and to afford them the necessary protection and assistance whilst in your country. Yours sincerely, Stephen Brady. |
