said that the two neighbouring powers had recognized the Persian
constitution, therefore they had no opposition to it. But
they were afraid the country would go into anarchy again.
If the anarchy returns, the Russian authorities intend to modify
the constitution and change the Parliamentary laws.
Regarding the Anglo-Russian Agreement of 1907 thej
Russian minister said that the first aim of it was to preserv*
integrity of Persia. But as regards its future effects on Persia
it was impossible to say and it was difficult to prophecy. The
Persians had to put aside their personal interest and try for the
country. He was sure that there were persons in Persia who
were so competent that none could be found even in Russia.
If Persians were helpless to administer their own country, of
course natural proceedings would be unexpected.
The correspondent asked him about the Russian Govts
policy in the neutral zone, which be said they had no definite
policy.
When he was asked about Persian Gendarmerie he replied
that he had no opposition to it. But in the beginning it was said
that the Gendarmerie was meant for roads only, but now the
scheme is quite changed, and it is understood that the Gendar
merie in future will take the place of a big force. Therefore it is
necessary that he should enter into the question with the Per
sian, British and Swedish Govts.
As regards the big Persian loan, he said that its fulfillment
depends on two points: —
1. that the budget should be regulated.
2. that the question of Railways slid, settled.
Regarding the Trans-Persian Railway he said that the British
Govt, wants it to be constructed from northwestern parts to the
south and the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , but the Russian Govt, should like
it to be made from the north-west to the south-east.
Regarding Haji Shuja-ed-Dowleh and Azerbaijan, the
minister said that it was Shuja-ed-Dowleh only who could
restore orders in Tabriz and the province.
