66. Ibid. Krikor Zohrab conducted the negotiations with the
Russian ambassador to Turkey, N. V. Charikov, about the form that St. Petersburg's diplomatic intervention was to take. The bargaining with the representatives of the Great Powers was likewise carried out under his supervision (Zohrab, Diary, Complete Works, vol. 4, op. cit., p. 343). The passage that the Patriarch, Zaven Der Yeghiayan, devotes to the question of the reforms in his Memoirs, op. cit., is also worth consulting. See further L. Etmekjian, “The Armenian National Assembly of Turkey and Reform,” Armenian Review, 29/1, 1976, pp. 38-52. Vol. 86 and vols. 87ff. of AMAE, Turquie, Correspondance politique, n. s., make it possible to follow the evolution of the question very closely.
