September 23, 1939 secret

...........

Dianu said in the course of the conversation that he initially intended to leave on September 27, but in connection with the arrival of the Turkish foreign minister * in the Soviet Union, he postponed his trip.

When I asked why he connects his departure with the visit of the Turkish minister to the Soviet Union, Dianu replied that by this he wants to emphasize the friendly relations that exist between Turkey and Romania, and his departure could be negatively assessed both in Turkey and in the Soviet Union.
