After the morning prayer, I wrote down yesterday's memories; last night I didn't write because of tiredness. Usually, at the end of each night, I write the memories of that day, and for this reason, under the influence of fatigue, they become incomplete and messy. Today, since I was not tired, I wrote the memories with more details. At half past eight, Mr. [Süleyman] Demirel,

After the morning prayer, I wrote the memories of yesterday; I didn't write last night because I was tired. Usually, at the end of every night, I write the memories of that day, and for this reason, under the influence of fatigue, it becomes incomplete and scribbled. Today, when I was not tired, I wrote the memories in more detail. At half past eight, Mr. [Suleiman] Demirel, [President of Türkiye] and his wife came. We went to the airport together. On the way, I asked his opinion about Mr. Arbakan's plan to change the status of the lira and print the new Turkish lira in the form of one lira, one dollar - which today is 105 thousand lira, one dollar. He accepts the principle of the work, but does not consider the time appropriate and believes that if it is done now, it will fail.

Regarding the issues of Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh, he believes that Russia wants the principle of the conflict and considers the existence of a dispute to its advantage. He asked me to help resolve the dispute. We left Ankara with an official send-off and 21 cannon shots. With the decision to go to the port of Trabozan in the Black Sea and from there to Tehran. Due to bad weather and clouds and fog, the plane could not land at the airport. We had to continue the flight to Iran. A group of Turkish officers who were with us also came to Iran. Since the welcome ceremony was not ready in Tehran, we landed in Tabriz. We prayed the afternoon and evening prayers. Imam Juma and the deputy governors [of East Azerbaijan] had come to welcome him. [Mr. Muslim Malkouti], Imam of Juma [Tabriz], expressed his happiness about the important works of my trip to Türkiye. We arrived in Tehran at three in the afternoon. After the welcome ceremony, I had a short interview and we went to my office.

I did some of the remaining work. I went to the government meeting. I explained the situation in Türkiye and understandings. We approved the bylaws of city and village councils. By nine o'clock at night, I did all the backlog. There was no leadership meeting because they have gone to Jamkaran. It rains well in Tehran. It rained last night too. We are worried about drought; Türkiye is also worried.
