Comrade Chicherin,

I am extremely concerned that the Turks are delaying the signing of the agreement on Batum, gaining time while their troops are advancing on Batum. We must not allow them such delays. Discuss the following measure: you break off your conference for half an hour to talk to me, while Stalin in the meantime has a frank talk with the Turkish delegation to clear the matter up and bring it to a conclusion today. 146
