US embassy cable - 05ANKARA3961

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.

Blaha, E.O. 12958, reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
1. (C) We supplied reftel points to Turkish MFA Policy 
Planning Department Head Tezel, making clear Turkey is not a 
subject of this effort and asking for Turkish views on our 
proposed initiative.  Tezel, a thoughtful interlocutor, 
thanked us and said he would reflect on our initiative and 
convey detailed views later.  Preliminarily, he suggested 
that, where appropriate, we cast our requests to clerics, 
officials and others as a way to for them correct mistaken 
impressions of Islam and the Islamic world.
