Following received from Tabriz telegram No. 94
of March 17th.
[Begins] following is text referred to in my
immediately preceding telegram.
[Begins] Azerbaijan Autonomous G-overnment has
forbidden public broadcast of news in Tabriz by British
Publicity Shop which has been maintained in the main
street of that town by Public Relations Bureau of
.'Vmbassy Tehran since 1941. The ban does not
apply to other loudspeakers maintained in Tabriz by the
Soviet authorities which relay news from Moscow and
Baku. The British shop which used to broadcast daily
B.B.C. news in Persian and Tehran news bulletins has
always attracted especial and appreciative crowds of
listeners during the four and a half years of its
existence. The present ban is the first official move
by the self-constituted Azerbaijan authorities to
restrict British propaganda in this province, where,
during the Allied occupation of Persia it enjoyed the
same liberty as, for example, Russian propaganda did in
the zone occupied up to March 2nd by the British Army.
Soviet forces, it may be recalled, are still in
occupation’of Azerbaijan. [Ends],
About this item
- Content
Papers concerning affairs on the northeast frontiers of Persia [Iran], with a focus on Iranian Azerbaijan, sent to and from British Government officials based in Persia, including those at the British Consulate at Tabriz and the British Embassy in Tehran, and the Foreign Office in London.
The correspondence covers the following:
- Throughout the period June 1930 to July 1931 (ff 379-421), the situation on the Perso-Russian and Perso-Turkish borders, and relations in the region between Persia and Russia. These papers predominantly comprise reports from the British Consul at Tabriz (Clarence Edward Stanhope Palmer).
- During October and November 1932, calls to boycott the elections to the new Persian majlis by an organisation describing itself as the Nationalist Organisation of Azerbaijan (ff 368-378). Papers include a translation of a manifesto issued by the organisation (ff 369-370).
- In 1935, reports responding to rumours of civil unrest in Tabriz (ff 357-363).
- In 1938, deteriorating relations between Iran and Russia, partly in response to Russia’s unease at an increase in trade between Germany and Iran (ff 337-352).
- The political crisis brought about by the declaration of the Azerbaijan People’s Government in November 1945, and the ensuing Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis, which arose from Soviet Russia’s refusal to relinquish Iranian territory originally occupied by Russia during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941 (ff 4-336). Papers include a declaration (in French) made by the National Congress of Iranian Azerbaijan (ff 259-260), and the translated texts of programmes and laws announced by the Azerbaijan National Government (ff 207-209, f 92, ff 77-79, ff 61-63).
