I have met the member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, distinguished Turcologist Mr. Dmitri VASİLYEV in Erzurum. I knew him particularly through his studies on Turkic Inscriptions. We have invited Mr. Vasilyev for a broadcast at TRT Erzurum Radio, during his visit to Erzurum upon a symposium arranged by Atatürk University. Beforehand and after Mr. Vasilyev’s speech in the radio studio, we had a long, nice conversation. Besides our questions regarding old Turkic Inscriptions in Asia, he kindly answered our questions on Turks and Russians naively and seriously.
