Central Government :, must agree to demands of Azerbaijanis
or say goodbye to them 1 ’, [g r P* undec. ? Prime Minister]/
had tahen Azerbaijani delegation sternly to task and told
them that such statements could only do them much harm
and that in any case there was of course no question of
’’saying goodbye to them 1 *.
4. As regards his relations with various political
parties Prime Minister assured me that friendship with
Great Britain was the keystone of his policy which he was
sure would prevail in the general election. (I have
little doubt that the Prime Minister [grp- undec.] my
visit with a view to giving me this*assurance). He had
no intention of rushing into election but expressed
confidence about ultimate result. When I pointed out
that neither Tudeh nor Azerbaijani democrats had so far
shown much sign of friendly feeling for Great Britain he
agreed but said that in any case they would clamour [grp.

that neither would agree to settlement of their [grp.

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.
