First, we went to Saadabad. Together with the guests, we went to the former Arya Street [located on Shahid Motahari Street in Tehran], which is named "Turkmenistan". We removed the curtain from the street sign; In front of the street named after Tehran in Ashgabat. They wanted us to name Ashgabat, but the populism of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thought that the word love is not a suitable name!

From there, we went to Imam Khomeini Square, Telecommunication Building, to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the telephone project between Iran and Turkmenistan. Mr. Gharei, Sanati and Shahab explained and welcomed. Then Mr. Niyazov and I talked [by phone] with the Speaker of the Parliament of Turkmenistan in their parliament. I spoke briefly. Then, in the amphitheater of the same building, we had the ceremony of granting the citizenship title to Mr. Niyazov by the mayor. [Mr. Gholamhossein Karbaschi], the mayor and Mr. Niazoff and I talked. Mr. Niazov read the speech from the beginning. They went to the parliament and I went back to my office.

I did the work and went to the leader's office. Mr. Niazof also came. They had a short meeting; Both spoke well. From there we went to the airport together. On the way, we talked about the gas industry and the quality of pipeline construction from Iran and investments. It turned out that for this pipeline, they have created a company in America, which is headed by Alexander Bey. To support the plan, in terms of capital and technology; I suggested, it is better to do it ourselves. In the pavilion, documents were signed. We interviewed. They left with an official farewell. They were supposed to go to Mashhad, but they gave up. He said that they will go to Mashhad when I am there.

I returned to my office. Mahdi also came for lunch. I said that Mr. Niyazov has invited him to go to Ashgabat on January 20th to visit Turkmenistan's gas industry. I came home in the evening. Fati and Shirin Khanam had cleaned and organized the house for the arrival of chastity.
