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.

THE CHARITABLE SECTOR 
 
REF: SECSTATE 5834 
 
ΒΆ1.  On January 27, we delivered this demarche to MFA Security 
Affairs Director Metin Ergin.  He said the Government of 
Turkey has seen significant problems with misuse of 
charitable donations and entities for terrorist purposes in 
Europe.  The GOT is supportive of cracking down on abuses, 
but Ergin said there is no way to follow up on the ultimate 
disposition of money after it leaves Turkey.  Ergin said the 
information in reftel was timely, and he appreciated 
receiving the list of websites which are constantly updated. 
Ergin agreed to share this information with MASAK, Turkey's 
Financial Intelligence Unit, and the Banking Regulation and 
Supervision Agency.  Separately, we shared reftel with 
Senturk Uzun, Head of the Associations Department at the 
Ministry of Interior, which has primary responsibility for 
auditing non-governmental organizations in Turkey.
