Send the following by telegraph to Comrade Mdivani in Angora:
In view of the occupation of Erivan by the communists, it is necessary to immediately implement the new border adopted at the Moscow conference, and in particular, it is necessary to immediately clear Alexandropol by the Turks. On our behalf, declare a categorical protest against the statement of Karabekir Pasha about his unwillingness to clear Alexandropol and convey to the Government of the Grand National Assembly that we strongly insist on the immediate withdrawal of Turkish troops beyond the border established in Moscow. Point out what fatal consequences a clash of Turkish troops with the Red Army troops could have, and that all Soviet Republics are in close and indissoluble alliance with Soviet Russia.
