appointed.

Article 6.
If a third Party should attempt to carry out a policy of usurpation by means
of armed intervention in Persia, or if such Power should desire to use Persian
territory as a base of operations against Russia, or if a Foreign Power should
threaten the frontiers of Federal Russia or those of its Allies, and if the Persian
Government should not be able to put a stop to such menace after having been
once called upon to do so by Russia, Russia shall have the right to advance her
troops into the Persian interior for the purpose of carrying out the military opera
tions necessary for its defence. Russia undertakes, however, to withdraw her
troops from Persian territory as soon as the danger has been removed.
