Viewing cable 06ANKARA4326, TFLE01: AIRCRAFT NEEDED NOW TO EVACUATE AMCITS TO

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06ANKARA4326.

TAGS: CASC MOPS ASEC TU LE CY
SUBJECT: TFLE01: AIRCRAFT NEEDED NOW TO EVACUATE AMCITS TO 
CONUS 
 
REF: ANKARA 4252 
 
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -- PLEASE PROTECT ACCORDINGLY 
 
1. (U) This is an urgent action request -- please see para. 4. 
 
2. (SBU) Over 700 of the approximately 1700 American citizens 
and their dependents evacuated from Turkey to Lebanon on July 
23 remain at Incirlik Air Base.  Schedules for commercial 
charter flights from Incirlik to CONUS have come and gone, 
with flights promised for July 24, 25, 26, and 27 (today), 
only four of which have actually materialized. 
 
3. (SBU) Our evacuees are increasingly anxious to get to the 
United States.  Nerves are frayed, and anger is on the 
increase enough to become a public relations concern.  Amcits 
and their dependents are physically comfortable at Incirlik; 
from what we understand, conditions there are better than at 
the Nicosia fairgrounds.  Their quarters, Incirlik's Patriot 
Village, are air-conditioned, the base has set up facilities 
to call home and use the Internet, and the evacuees are 
getting good food and medical care.  But unless we get firm 
flights July 27 or 28, we will have problems. 
 
4. (SBU) Action Request: Request the Department redouble its 
efforts urgently to provide reliable commercial aircraft 
immediately for this evacuation, or consider requesting 
milair assets, as were used for Cyprus.
