Dear Reader,

from the archives of Györges Hazai the editor could obtain the Programme of the 16th Annual Meeting of the Permanent International Altaistic Conference, Ankara 1973. There are some minor differences between this programme and the Proceedings; not all  speakers in the programme appear with their contributions in the Proceedings, but this quite a normal case as usually not all participants submit their papers for publication in written form, and sometimes the editors take an additional step of accepting only a selection of papers offered by the contributors for the Proceedings.
