Izakov in Pravda’s International Review o± ^ugust 31st
oovanonts on the fact that the “Persian question” still
remains on the agenda of the Security Council although
the reason for this is a mystery. He states that as part
of their anti-Soviet machinations certain forces led by
.auerican and British diplomacy once tried to create the
non-existent Persian problem and for this purpose used
certain questions in Soviet-Persian relations which had
not at that time been decided although they were under
discussion between koscow and Tehran.
These negotiations however ended in agreement on all
noints, as was confirmed by the official communique at the
time and by the Persian premier’s letter to the Soviet
.Jib ass ad or in Tehran about the formation of a novio't- ^
Persian oil company. The Soviet Government had xulfilloa
all the obligations undertaken in the negotiations with
Persia and they exmected the Persian Government xo do
likewise.
2. Izakov goes on to say that it is tnereforo clear
that there is not and has never been any Persian question
or problem requiring international settlement. ^The ooviet
representative on the Security Council had pointed out
that in these circumstances the placing.of this.question
on the agenda was an illegal measure which infringed tne
United Nations Charter. 'The Persian Government miemselves
had also requested the Security Council to remove tne
question from the agenda. If this was not done it would
be only because of the ugly political game being piayee by
those gentlemen who were trying to make use o± the uouncil
for their own ends.
