th? Soviet and Iraq? Governments with a view to establi^mg
diplomatic relations and missions. Originally the Iraqi
Government had stipulated for Soviet recognition of^
independence of Iraq and of all other Arabic Countries.
The Soviet Government had replied that, while willing
of course to recognise Iraqi independence, they could
not go further thin that. Quite recently however,
Iraqis had withdrawn this stipulation ana consequently it
was i) rob able that relations would be established and
missions despatched in the near future. The Soviet Government
were informing the Turkish Ambassador m accordance with
their treaty obligations.
Please repeat to Bagdad if possible and safe.
