Viewing cable 07NICOSIA859, CYPRUS: DESIGNATIONS OF IRANIAN ENTITIES

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.

REF: STATE 148605 
 
(SBU) Ref demarche was delivered to Spyros Attas, Counselor, 
Division of Multilateral Affairs at MFA, and separately to 
Antigone Hadjixenophontos, Acting Chief of the Attorney 
General's Unit for Combating Money Laundering. Both advised 
that they would immediately send our information and request 
for action by the GoC up the chains of command and let us 
know of their decision. Attas advised us that in cases like 
this, Cyprus will normally follow whatever is decided by the 
EU as a whole and was unlikely to take any action in the 
absence of a whole of EU decision. Within the EU, he doubted 
that Cyprus would take a leading role in any debate to either 
pursue or oppose designating referenced Iranian entities and 
individuals.
