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