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.

 (C) DCM delivered demarche on Turkey's accession to MFA 
Acting Political Director Anu Laamanen on July 28.  Laamanen 
noted Finland's long-standing support for Turkish EU 
membership, and added that she expects a creative result on 
the AKP court case that would allow Turkey's accession 
process to proceed.  She indicated the EU's focus on the 
Lisbon Treaty has overshadowed the Turkish court case, thus 
limiting discussion among EU members.
