The Saadabad Pact of 1937as an example of regional political integration in the period between the two world wars

Öz

The quadripartite nonaggression pact signed on July 8, 1937 in the Saadabad Palace of the Iranian Shah in Tehran, which ended the long process of formation of a regional political group comprising Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, was named by the contemporaries, and later in the scientific literature, "Saadabad Pact". The mere fact of the formation in the Middle East of a political bloc of states at a time when the gradual "crawling" of mankind and individual states in World War II is of considerable interest to the historian. However, the history of the creation of the Saadabad Pact remained for a long time a little-known and weakly studied topic. Meanwhile, the tendencies towards rapprochement and cooperation in the relations of the countries of the Middle East are still in effect. In this regard, knowledge of the history of the emergence, existence and influence on international relations of regional groups such as the Saadabad Pact becomes important. The Speaker sought to clarify the prerequisites and reasons for the formation of the Saadabad Pact in the light of the development of international relations in the Middle East, to determine the stages in the formation of this regional grouping, to show the attitude of the great powers, especially the Soviet Union and Britain, to it, and clarify the role of its individual participants in the creation of the pact.
