Viewing cable 09NICOSIA539, CYPRUS: GOVERNMENT SHARES USG VIEWS ON AFGHAN

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.

Discussing cables

REF: STATE 83031 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) On August 17, Charge shared reftel points on 
upcoming Afghan elections with MFA Political Director Rea 
Yiordamlis, emphasizing the need for credibility of the 
process, a legitimate outcome, and the impartiality of the 
USG. Yiordamlis welcomed the USG position and expressed 
broad agreement with this message, particularly on the need 
for crediblity. Yiordamlis said that Cyprus, like the US, 
wants to see fair elections that result in a legitimate 
outcome. While acknowledging that the security situation in 
Afghanistan is "difficult" -- and that this could have a 
negative effect on the elections -- Yiordamlis nevertheless 
hoped that violence would subside.
