It is known that the Turkish Ambassador in Moscow discussed conditions under which the RulssoTurkish Treaty of Friendship, which the Russians denounced in March, could be renewed.
The Russian Government put forward conditions covering a wide political range and believed to include a request for the modification of the administration of the Dardanelles. The correspondent adds that the Turkish view regarding the Dardanelles has always been that administration is an international matter, precluding Turkey from discussing it with Russia alone. -
