If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

REF: STATE 102149 
 
1. We raised reftel points with Bora Kerimoglu, Section Chief 
in the MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department on July 
31, encouraging his office to ensure that the International 
Convention is on the agenda for the newly elected 
parliament's consideration this fall.  We also inquired about 
any legislation that the Turkish government has prepared to 
ensure effective implementation of the convention.  Kerimoglu 
promised to check the parliamentary agenda as well as the 
status of implementing legislation. 
 
2. Turkey passed legislation criminalizing and specifying 
jail terms for unauthorized possession, trafficking in, and 
use of nuclear materials as part of a 2005 reform of the 
Penal Code (Articles 172-174).
