PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. XXV—1921.
APPENDIX No. XXV.
Treaty of Friendship between Persia and the Russian Socialist Federal
Soviet Republic, Signed at Moscow—February 26, 1921.
The Persian Government of the one part, and the Russian Socialist Federal
Soviet Republic of the other part, desiring to establish relations of friendship and
fraternity between the two nations, have decided to engage in negotiations for thiu
purpose, and have therefore appointed the following Plenipotentiaries :—
For Persia : Ali Gholi Khan Mochaverol-Memalek, and for Russia: 0. V'
Tchitcherin : who after the verification of their respective powers, have agreed as
follows :—
Article 1.
In order to confirm its declarations regarding Russian policy towards the
Persian nation, which formed the subject of correspondence on January 14, 1918
and June 26, 1919, the R. S. F. S. R. formally affirms once again that it definitely
renounces the tyrannical policy carried out by the Colonizing Governments of
Russia which have been overthrown by the will of the workers and peasants of
Russia.
Inspired by this principle, and desiring that the Persian people should be happ7
and independent and should be able to dispose freely of its patrimony, the Russia 11
Republic declares the whole body of treaties and conventions concluded with Persi a
by the Tsarist Government, which crushed the rights of the Persian people, to b e
null and void.
Article 2.
The R. S. F. S. R. expresses its reprobation of the policy of the Tsarist Govern
ments of Russia, which, on the pretext of ensuring the independence of the peoples
of Asia, concluded, without the consent of the latter, treaties with European
Powers, the sole object of which was to subjugate those peoples.
This criminal policy, which infringed upon - the independence of the countries
of Asia and which made the living nations of the East a prey to the cupidity and the
tyranny of European robbers, is abandoned unconditionally by Federal Russ’a.
Federal Russia, therefore, in accordance with the principles laid down in Article
1 and 4 of the Treaty, declares its refusal to participate in any action which mig
destroy or weaken Persian sovereignty. It regards as null and void the woe
body of treaties and conventions concluded by the former Russian Government
with third parties in respect of Persia or to the detriment of that country.
Article 3.
The two Contracting Powers agree to accept and respect the Russo-Persian
frontiers, as drawn by the Frontier Commission in 1881.
