US embassy cable - 05ANKARA1169

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.

International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to 
GOT MFA Balkans officials Kasim Cavusoglu and Gizem Sucuoglu. 
 Both said that Turkey had been following this issue for a 
long time and agreed with the U.S. position, saying that 
people of all ethnic origins should be brought to justice. 
Cavusoglu further commented that "The generals are small 
fish.  Karadzic and Mladic must be taken to The Hague." 
Sucouoglu noted that Turkey had provided funds (NFI), but had 
not contributed personnel to this effort.
