Viewing cable 08ATHENS702, EMBASSY ATHENS MARKS DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH CUBAN

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.

     B. ATHENS 611 
 
1. (U) Ref B discussed post's actions regarding promotion of 
May 21 as the "Day of Solidarity with the Cuban People."  In 
addition, Ambassador has placed an editorial on Cuba and the 
Day of Solidarity in the daily free-press Metro newspaper, 
which everyday reaches a quarter of a million average Greeks, 
including a large number of young people.  Post is posting 
the editorial on its Embassy website.  Post has also provided 
a prominent link on its website to www.solidaridadcuba.org. 
 
2. (SBU) As discussed in ref B, post's options for promoting 
solidarity with the Cuban people are limited.  We will, 
nevertheless, continue to look for opportunities, both with 
the GOG and with the Greek public, to heighten awareness of 
the situation in Cuba.
