By January 1920, the country, in fact, had dual power - the Sultan government in Istanbul and the opposition in the eastern part of Turkey - Anatolia, with its center in Ankara. On April 23, 1920, Mustafa Kemal convened in Ankara and headed the new parliament - the Turkish Grand National Assembly . And on April 26, Kemal Pasha turned to Soviet Russia with a request for help and with a proposal to establish diplomatic relations and conclude a military alliance. [one]
On June 2, 1920, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR G.V. Chicherin sent Mustafa Kemal a letter acknowledging Soviet Russia’s independence of Turkey and proposing to establish diplomatic and consular relations immediately.

Rozhkin and V. Bogdanov. [4] The former building was transferred to the USSR Trade Representation in 1961 and rebuilt (now the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in Turkey occupies the building) [5]
