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.

SUBJECT: BALKANS WITNESS SECURITY 
 
 
REF: STATE 125097 
 
 
(U)  We contacted Turkish MFA officials May 28 and several 
times thereafter for responses to reftel questions.  MFA 
believes the Ministry of Justice does not have an established 
witness protection program and is checking further with 
colleagues in the Ministry of Interior regarding this topic. 
MFA is aware of the June 15 deadline.  We will send follow up 
cable on receipt of further information from GOT.
