British Consulate-Creneral,
Tabriz.
7th February# 1943.
Sir #
I called oa the Governor-General yesterday to
enquire whether he had any plans for preventing a repetition
of the Kurdish trouble which began in April of last year, and
which, you will recollect, acutely inflamed racial and
religious animosity in Azerbaijan, had considerable repercussioni
throughout Iran, tended for a time to cloud Turco-Soviet
frontier relations, and threatened to embroil the Kurds from
Iraq. The gist of his Excellency’s replies was as follows:
2 . military .
(i) It is decided in principle, a\& the Russians
approve, that the Persian Government will establish three
brigades, one at Ardebil, one at Tabriz, the third at
Rezaieh. Go far there are three battalions at Ardebil, two
based on Tabriz, two at Rezaieh. They are mainly infantry,
with no auxiliary units, but at Hezaioh there are a few light
tan*cs and some small guns. The Governor-General seemed
pessimistic about the prospects of completing and equipping
these brigades in any ne-ir future. In any case he said he had t<
await General Ridley’s proposals for the reorg4nisation of the
Army as a whole.
(iij Of the two battalions which came North to
Rezaieh last summer, one has returned booth and been replaced
by local recruits. The battalions at Tabriz and Ardebil were
all recruited locally.
(iii) Ror the moment one of the Tabriz battalions is at
Alanduab. The Governor-General confirms that it was sent
there primarily to protect the sugar refinery and its contents.
3# Gendarmei’le,
(i) You are aware of a project to re-establish
Gendarmerie poets along the Turkish frontier and I have
reported that high military and gendarmerie officers toured
the area to select points lor such posts (Tabffcz Diary for
November 1942 paragraph 73). he Governor-General told
me that little further progress had been made. One difficulty tve
was that the Russians, after allowing a part of the necessary
arma and ammunition to pass, had prevented the arrival of
the remainder. They had their reasons, ho said; the various
tribes had all been pressing for ams on the ground that their
neighbours were better armed than the;, that they were exposed
to danger, an i so on. One gendarmerie officer, he said, had
/given
