TEHRAN.
4th November, 1946
Sir
At the end of October the Tudeh newspaper
triumphantly announced that the Democrat Party of
Azerbaijan, the Democrat Party of Kurdistan, the
Jungle Party of Gilan and the Socialist Party had
joined the coalition of ' , freelom-loving ,, parties
inaugurated a short time ago by the fusion of the
Tudeh Party flith the Iran Party.
2. This event brings no real change to the
position of the political parties in the country.
The Azerbaijan Democrats and the Tudeh have always
worked in the closest harmony, the Democrats of
Kurdistan have never been anything more than a
shadowy reflection of the Azerbaijan separatists
and the two other parties are so obscure and unimportant
that little or nothing is known of tnem.
3. The flourish of trumpets with A'hich the
Tudeh Party have announced tne adhesion of these
parties to the "freedom front" is, I suspect, a device
to divert attention from their failure to force the
Democrat Party of Iran (the Prime Minister’s Party)
to join this "front" on terms which would have
subordinated it to the will of tne Tudeh.
I have the honour to be with the highest respect
Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
(Sd) J.H. Le Rougetel.
The Right Honourable Krnest Devin, M.P. ,
His Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affhirs.
About this item
- Content
The file contains reports, predominantly in the form of telegrams, by British diplomatic and consular staff on political and social developments in Persia; the content of the reports reflect British Government interests during the Iran-Azerbaijan Crisis of 1946. The reports cover developments within the Central Government, developments in the provinces, and the activities of the Democratic Party and the Tudeh Party. This includes accounts of meetings held by the British and United States Ambassadors – John Le Rougetel and George V Allen – with Ahmad Qavam (Prime Minister and Leader of the Democratic Party) and the Shah – Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. The file also covers strikes and labour disputes, with those affecting the operations of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being particularly predominant.
The strikes of oil workers in Agha Jari and Abadan in July 1946 are covered in the reports, as is a threatened revolt by the Bakhtiari and Kashgai tribes. Reports from the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Sir Maurice Drummond Peterson) cover Soviet press reporting of developments in Persia. A small amount of content is in French.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
