SUBJECT: TURKEY: MAY 21 - DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE CUBAN
PEOPLE
REF: STATE 45792
1. (U) To commemorate May 21 Day of Solidarity with the Cuban
People, post plans to feature on our website the Department's
statement on solidarity with the Cuban people, and
appropriate background information. Additionally, two post
political officers who previously served at USINT Havana plan
to highlight the historic and continuing human rights abuses
of the Cuban regime during meetings with Turkish human rights
activists and NGOs. Turkey's current intense preoccupation
with internal political tensions and terrorist activities is
likely to minimize the effect of other initiatives at this
time.
