The Russian Caspian Sea fleet off Enzeli, Persian [Iran] according to the Dutch newspaper Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant morning edition dated 16 April 1920

London, 15 April. The correspondent of the British newspaper The Times at Teheran reported that the Russian Caspian Sea fleet commanded by admiral Sergejef consisting of 15 ships accepted the conditions for her disarmament and interment. Sergejef was at Bakoe dismissed and returned to Enzeli. During their first visit to Enzeli seemed the Russian officers to be surprised that general Champain commanding the British troops in North Persia affirmed them to accept the Persian conditions. They wanted to capitulate to England and not to Persia but they was told that it wasn’t allowed to bring the harmless Persia in danger by the Soviets. The disarmed Russian officers were supervised by a British officer.
