Telegram of the Deputy Peopleʹs Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the RSFSR in Turkey S. I. Aralov

March 7, 1922

It was decided to immediately transfer three and a half million rubles in gold to the Turks . Inform Mustafa Kemal about this; We agree that the money should be transferred through you and not through Karabekir. Send an inspector to Tiflis immediately, having secured reliable security from the Turks on Turkish territory, with responsibility for the safety of the Turks when moving through their territory.
