In view of the fact that the Persian nation is in doubt with regard to the futuie
of the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, I have the honour, in the name of the
Government of the Soviet Republic of Russia, to inform you as follows :—

second Session of the All Russian Soviets on the 26th October 1917, the Council
of the People’s Commissaries hereby declares that the Anglo-Russian Convention,
1907, in view of its inconsistency with the freedom and independence of the Persian
nation, is completely and perpetually annulled.
The Council of the People’s Commissaries further declares that all conventions
concluded prior or subsequently to the aforesaid Convention and which limit
or diminish, in any respect whatsoever, the rights of the Persian people in relation
to a free and independent existence are null and void. And, with regard to those
Russian troops which have not yet returned and are, thereby, a source of trouble
to the Persian people, I beg to assure you, Monsieur le Ministre Plenipotentiaire,
that this state of affairs is contrary to our intention and is due to the ignoranee of

elements amongst their officers. The Soviet Government, of its part, will take

functionaries and Imperialist Bourgeois, who are equally the enemies of the
