Viewing cable 07HELSINKI394, FINNISH RESPONSE: SYRIA'S SHAM PRESIDENTIAL

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

Classified By: PolChief Greg Thome, Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
(C) PolChief delivered subject demarche to Finnish MFA Deputy 
Middle East Director Sofie Fromm-Emmesberger May 25.  She 
welcomed our points, noting that Syria's upcoming 
"referendum" is not a helpful exercise in the region. 
Finland does not plan to issue any statements prior to the 
vote, Fromm-Emmesberger said, but may do so in the aftermath 
and expects the EU will.
