Viewing cable 94ANKARA9784, MEANING OF "PKK"

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
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #94ANKARA9784.

EMBASSY REMINDS ADDRESSEES THAT THE TERM "PKK" STANDS 
FOR "KURDISTAN WORKERS PARTY" ("PARTIYA KERKERAN 
KURDISTAN" IN KURDISH), NOT/NOT "KURDISH WORKERS 
PARTY."  THE DIFFERENCE IS MORE THAN SYNTACTICAL.
