The Wikileaks revelations have put international relationships on the line. But they have also sparked lively internal debates in the countries concerned by the disclosures, nowhere more so than in Turkey.

Turkey’s Prime Minister cast doubt on the site’s credibility before leaving for Libya. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has good reason to play it all down. According to claims in the secret US cables, he has eight Swiss bank accounts.
And the documents seem to reveal internal tensions in Erdogan’s team. However Turkish Defence Minister Vecdi Gonul denies he described the now Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as “exceptionally dangerous” because of his alleged Islamist influence on the government.
