(b) In Azerbaijan, movements have been reported north-westwards from Tabriz. These movements may refer to troops leaving Persia via Julfa but they may equally indicate movements up to the Persian-Turkish frontier in the area of Maku. (c) Earlier reports from Azerbaijan indicated some redeployment of cavalry towards the Persian-Iraqi border. (d) On the evidence available, we do not consider that Russian troop movements portend any direct intervention in Turkey or Iraq in the immediate future. But evidence is so far lacking of any substantial withdrawals from Azerbaijan into Russia, and Russian forces in Azerbaijan could be rapidly built up from Transcaucasia in preparation for such an attack.
