A massive document dump of more than 250,000 U.S diplomatic cables made public by WikiLeaks on Sunday – caused a profound shock wave around the globe.

In a January 20, 2010, confidential cable, Amb. James Jeffery provided his analysis of Turkey's foreign policy, citing concerns about Turkey's "inability to bring to conclusion foreign policy initiatives," specifically noting the Turkey-Armenia Protocols, and noting Foreign Minister Davutoglu's "tendency to substitute rhetoric for long term investment of diplomatic, military, and assistance capital."

Amb. Jeffery went on to note that: "Turkey will have to stand and be counted on Iran, in the Security Council, with MD, and in implementation of UN or US sanctions. This will have a profound effect on relations second only to the fate of the Armenian protocols over the next year."
