Greek Series 319. The Department’s Greece 12 [92], September 12, 8 p.m. Moushanov has been informed by Balabanov that Minister Stainov agrees to the proposal that Moushanov go temporarily to Ankara to establish contact with his Government, but only provided the representatives of the British and American Governments consent and that the journey does not in any way signify that the Bulgarian delegation is finally leaving Cairo.
The British Foreign Office has so far not agreed to Moushanov’s going and he is therefore still here.84 Meanwhile, by telegram dated September 11 and received in Ankara September 13, Stainov has informed Moushanov that the Bulgarian delegation sent to General Tolbukhin was received cordially but notified that the armistice conditions would be jointly elaborated by the three powers. In addition Balabanov advises that, upon the request of his delegation, the Russians have returned their arms to disarmed Bulgarian troops.
