Telegram of the Peopleʹs Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR to a member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Caucasian Front G.K. Ordzhonikidze
// December 1920
The issuance of weapons must be resumed immediately, but it should be added that we demand the cleansing of the Alexandropol district and the retreat to the Kars region. We do not wait with the issuance of weapons until they do it, but when we start issuing, we count on their fulfillment of our demand. Mdivani will emphasize to the Turks that this is a sign of trust and a desire for friendship.
