US embassy cable - 04ANKARA3950

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

REF: ANKARA 3618 
 
1. Turkish press reported July 15-16 that Turkey had decided 
to send a 200-man PRT to Takhar, Afghanistan.  We contacted 
the Turkish MFA July 16 seeking confirmation/clarification. 
MFA informed us that while no decision has yet been taken, 
Turkey is indeed reconsidering its formerly withdrawn 
proposal (see reftel) to send a PRT to Takhar and expected to 
reach a final decision in the next two weeks.  MFA South Asia 
Department will contact us when a decision is reached. 
 
2. Kabul minimize considered.
