7. there has been tauch comiiur and going of 01
the month and it would seem that there la no dearth of ideas for the future
W^l-beinr of Azerbaijan. The population is not, however, impressed by
ideas, and they are waiting, with some impatience, for the Central Govern
ment to get on with the Job. In most denartmmtr the people meet with the
response #efter the Hew Year* O f arch 21st) When they ask as to when practical

an orderly manners further that the Governor-General, **li -nsur, had a
/s
ateacty hand at the helm, although of course his hand wafc not entirely free
since the province is still under martial law.
9. K. Nikpay was accompanied during his visit to IWbriz by Aramesh,
the principal reason for the visit of the latter being to find out the
prospects for the establishment of the Iran democrat Party in Azerbaijan.
I said in one of my earlier reports (November liary, paragraph 154)
