Ask Probe Of Dispute With Russia
Iran asked the United Nations Security Council to investigate what it calls Soviet interference in Iran’s internal affairs. Iranian delegate Nasrallah Entezam said a letter was submitted to council president Dr. J. M. Makin of Australia for an immediate meeting. The appeal followed failed direct negotiations with Russia, a permanent council member with veto power. The dispute centers on Azerbaijan in the Russian occupation zone and an autonomous regime there. The Tassian garrison reportedly blocked Iranian troops from quelling the revolt. Also, the council considered a plan to place the proposed atomic energy commission under its authority, which passed its first test without opposition.
