Viewing cable 07NICOSIA514, CYPRUS TO BE HELPFUL WITHIN EU ON FURTHER

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.

STATEMENTS REGARDING IRANIAN HARASSMENT/DETENTION OF AMCITS 
 
REF: STATE 80300 
 
(SBU) Poloff June 12 delivered reftel points to MFA Near East 
Affairs Attache Dionysis Dionysiou.  Dionysiou responded June 
13 that Cyprus likely would not take any unilateral action 
over the recent harassment/detention of private Americans by 
the Iranian regime.  For various reasons, Cyprus had little 
hope of influencing Teheran, he explained.  Despite each 
maintaining an embassy in the other's territory, for example, 
Iranian-Cypriot relations were not close.  To prove the 
point, he noted that the Iranian Ambassador to Cyprus had 
visited the MFA only once, for his courtesy call on Foreign 
Minister Lillikas.  In Tehran, the Cypriot Embassy was being 
run by a TDYer in the wake of a recent scandal involving its 
former ambassador; the official was too busy with internal 
management issues to do any bilateral work.  Further, Cyprus 
was a small island state with few carrots and no sticks to 
employ with the GoI.  The picture was somewhat brighter on 
the multilateral front, however.  Dionysiou assured Poloff 
that Cyprus supported the recent EU Presidency Statement 
against Iran's recent actions.  It also was open to a French 
proposal to include in the Council Conclusions for next 
week's GAERC meeting a statement urging the protection of 
academics and dual nationals visiting Iran.
