PERSIA REPEATS CHARGE
“Interference By Russia” STATEMENT MADE TO UNO (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 11.50 p.m.) NEW YORK. May 8. Reaffirming its original charge accusing the Soviet of interfering in the internal affairs of Persia, the Persian Government, through the Persian Ambassador to the United States (Hussein Ala), informed the Security Council that because of these interferences in the autonomous province of Azerbaijan, it had been unable so far to verify whether Russian forces had evacuated all Persia. Hussein Ala stated that Soviet troops were known to have evacuated completely four other northern provinces ahead of schedule. He added that because of the interferences complained of the Persian Government since November 7 last year had not been able to ascertain through its own officials what was happening in Azerbaijan. However, the Persian Government had been informed through other sources that the evacuation of Azerbaijan would be completed by to-day.
