During the bloody March days in Baku, I strictly asked the new government led by Shaumyan to secure the safety of Iranians and their property and called upon the parties to end, by any means and methods, the killings and lootings, and restoration of peace… Many people died from both sides in this devastating wat. So, only the commission set up by myself to collect and identify the wounded and killed established that over 5 thousand Iranians and non-Iranian Muslims were killed, and the said commission was tasked with shrouding and burial of these corpses. Said Mahammad al-Vazareh Maragheyi, “Political memories”, Tehran, 1994, p. 49.
