Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

SUBJECT: TURKEY REVIEWING A CONTRIBUTION TO AFGHAN ELECTION 
BUDGET DEFICIT 
 
REF: STATE 57541 
 
 Per reftel request, we discussed with MFA Deputy Director 
General for South Asia Affairs Babur Hizlan the budget 
shortfall remaining from Afghanistan's 2005 parliamentary 
elections.  Hizlan said Turkey was aware of the shortfall and 
would review the request for a contribution towards the 
reduction of that deficit.  He noted, however, that Turkey is 
already searching for funds to cover the stand-up of its PRT 
in Wardak province which is scheduled to begin operation this 
summer.  Turkey has pledged $100M in reconstruction 
assistance to Afghanistan, but those funds cannot be used to 
establish the necessary infrastructure for Turkey's PRT. 
Hizlan was unsure whether they could be utilized  to make a 
contribution to reduce the election budget deficit, or 
whether other funds are available, but pledged Turkey's 
review of the request.
