PERSIA- APPENDIX NO. XXV— 1921.
Akticle 7.
The considerations set forth in Article 6 have equal weight in the matter of the
security of the Caspian Sea. The two High Contracting Parties therefore have
agreed that Federal Russia shall have the right to require the Persian Government
to send away foreign subjects, in the event of their taking advantage of their engage
ment in the Persian navy to undertake hostile action against Russia.
Article 8.
Federal Russia finally renounces the economic policy pursued in the East by
the Tsarist Government, which consisted in lending money to the Persian Goveir-
ment, not with a view to the economic development of the country, but rather for
purposes of political subjugation.
Federal Russia accordingly renounces its rights in respect of the loans granted
to Persia by the Tsarist Governments. It regards the debts due to it as void, and
will not require their repayment. Russia likewise renounces its claims to the
resources of Persia which were specified as security for the loans in question.
Article 9.
In view of the declaration by which it has repudiated the colonial and capitalist
policy which occasioned so many misfortunes and was the cause of so much blood
shed, Federal Russia abandons the continuation of the economic undertakings of
the Tsarist Government the object of which was the economic subjugation of
Persia. Federal Russia therefore cedes to the Persian Government the full owner
ship of all funds and of all real and other property, which the Russian Discount
Bank possesses on Persian territory, and likewise transfers to it all the assets and
liabilities of that Bank. The Persian Government nevertheless agrees that in the
towns where it has been decided that the Russian Socialist Republic may establish
Consulates, and where buildings exist belonging to the Discount Bank, one of these
buildings, to be chosen by the Russian Government, shall be placed at the disposal
of the Russian Consulate, free of charge.
Article 10.
The Russian Federal Government, having abandoned the colonial policy, which
consisted in the construction of roads and telegraph lines more in order to obtain
military influence in other countries than for the purpose of developing their
civilizations, and being desirous of providing the Persian people with those means
of communication indispensable for the independence and development of any
nation, and also in order to compensate the Persian people as far as possible for
the losses incurred by the sojourn in its territory of the Tsarist armies, cedes free
of charge to the Persian Government the following Russian installations :—
(a) The high-roads from Enzeli to Tehran, and from Kazvin to Hamadan,
and all land and insti rations in connection with these roads.
