English Translation
Prague, 13 March 1940. Me 109-4/13 Report Betr.: Turkish Consulate General in Prague The Turkish Consul General is headed by Consul-General Dr. A k c a Nuri, born 14.4.1896 in Istanbul. Dr. Akca studied in Germany and received her doctorate in USA. Later, he worked for a long time on a diplomatic mission in Germany and from this time on he stammers his strongly German-friendly attitude. He shows himself very open to all foreign and domestic political questions concerning Germany. In contrast, he is strongly opposed to the Soviet Union, where he worked twice. He calls the UdssR the danger of Europe. Dr. Akca is also anti-Semitic and is supposed to refuse any entry of Jews into Turkey, - Due to the German Bündnås with the Soviet Union his German-friendliness seems to have somewhat lessened. Akca has already worked in almost all capitals and therefore speaks many languages, including Turkish, Persian, English, French, Czech, Italian and FleBend German. - Recently he has withdrawn very much and is supposed to work with his employees until late at night. - He dismissed his German driver and now drives his car himself. It is worth noting that in the last semester he enrolled at the Juridical Faculty of the German University in Prague.-- Completely different from the consul, the commercial attaché A. Muzaffer E. Görduysus is hired. He runs a lot in diplomatic society and is supposed to be friends especially with the Russian consul and the former envoys of Yugoslavia. (the latter is allegedly staying in Prague) The trade attaché also returns to the circles of Czech high finance and has particularly good relations with the family "Kruliğ-Randa". He has also been seen many times in the society of the English journalist P a r k e r, who is strongly suspected of espionage. Also otherwise Muzaffer K. Görduysus is supposed to do unclean business and also issue Turkish visas against corresponding payment.
