Instruct the Commissariat for Food as a most important political and economic task to supply Baku with foodstuffs necessarily and regularly at 100 per cent of the quota.

To relax the food policy in Azerbaijan, namely: not to take grain from the peasants in Azerbaijan at all, outside Mugan, and in Mugan to take it with extreme caution.

Immediately instruct Frumkin to report precisely to the Central Committee and the Council of Defence{39} twice a month on the strict and rigorous fulfilment of these directives in practice.

To pursue a policy of maximum conciliation towards Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and Persia, i.e., a policy directed above all towards avoiding war.

Not to set ourselves the task of a campaign against Georgia, Armenia or Persia.

To recognise as the main task the defence of Azerbaijan and firm possession of the entire Caspian Sea.

For this purpose, to strengthen and accelerate in every way the transfer of at least seven divisions to Azerbaijan.

To strengthen in every way propaganda, agitation, the development of the Committees of the Poor{40} and Soviet construction generally in Azerbaijan, instructing Comrade Stalin for this purpose, through the Organising Bureau, to extract from everywhere the maximum number of Muslim Communists for work in Azerbaijan.

Instruct the People's Commissariat for Railways and the Supreme Council for Transport{41} to find ways of transporting at least eight troop trains daily to Baku, without weakening the supply of foodstuffs to Russia.
