US embassy cable - 04HELSINKI1010

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.

the MFA's Unit for African and Middle-East Affairs on Aug. 3. 
 The Finnish officials said that Finland's Ambassador to 
Syria was not currently in Damascus, and that the GoF has 
limited bilateral contact with the Syrian government. 
However, Finland intends to continue to work through the EU 
to encourage Syria to play a more helpful role in Iraqi 
stabilization.  The Finnish officials also asked if the U.S. 
had approached Syria about contributing financially to the 
proposed UN protection force.
