Viewing cable 07ATHENS79, REQUEST TO RESETTLE PROTECTED MIGRANTS FROM

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

SUBJECT: REQUEST TO RESETTLE PROTECTED MIGRANTS FROM 
GUANTANAMO -- INTERIM RESPONSE 
 
REF: 06 STATE 181903 
 
ΒΆ1.  After initial discussions in November and December on 
reftel request, on January 9 Greg Vassiloconstandakis  (MFA 
Deputy Director for North America) updated Polcouns on the 
ministry's internal deliberations.  The response from the 
MFA's legal department was not positive; it emphasized that 
there was no provision in Greek law to allow for the legal 
resettlement of this category of migrants.  However, 
Vassiloconstandakis noted that the matter was still under 
consideration by the MFA's new political director; a more 
comprehensive response would be forthcoming as soon as 
possible.
