Situation in the north is slowly deteriorating, Tabriz
returns to the Azerbaijan council show all signs of Soviet
methods. Twelve successful candidates obtained '21,000 to 23,000
votes each. About 37 others many of whom were obviously
thrown in to impart air of probability received fewer than 50
votes each. Winners who are all of the Tudeh type include several
extremists such as Qiami Biria and Ipekjian,
Composition of the Higher Council formed by the Prime
Minister is likely to lead to concessions to the Russians.
Qawam is openly for this Sadiqi is supported by the Tudeh
Mansur is able but corrupt and unheroic Pirnia and Qaraghozlu
may be expected to show noble inactivity. Prime Minister
is old tired and without ideas.
3. Prime Minister has accepted principle of councils
for all provinces but delays to make a statement.
4. Newspaper Zafar has invented the tale that the United
Kingdom Commercial Corporation are mining chrome in Baluchistan.
This is presumably to divert attention from the omission of the
Russians to meet the charge that they are boring for oil in
several places in their zone.
5. His Majesty’s Ambassador is leaving for the Moscow
Conference shortly. . Mr. Farquhar will be in charge.
6 . Several British correspondents and one American have
failed to secure Russian permission to visit Azerbaijan.
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).
