Instruct the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs to pursue a policy of the utmost restraint and distrust towards the Government of Azerbaijan, in view of the fact that it has refused our proposal for joint military operations against Denikin and is rendering services to the British military forces operating against us in the Caspian Sea. While emphasising with the utmost definiteness our unswerving recognition of the right of the working masses of every nation to self-determination, the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs must enter a vigorous protest against such conduct on the part of the Government of Azerbaijan.{23}
