Résumé anglais Taline Ter Minassian, A sample of the part played by the minorities in the foreign policy of USSR: Armenians in the Soviet policy in Iran in the early 1920s. Dictated by geopolitical and strategical considerations, Russian - and later on Soviet - policy in Iran stressed the part of Transcaucasia as a "buffer state." Based on hitherto unpublished sources (Erevan archives), this article displays the part allocated to the Armenian minority, actor as well as target of Soviet diplomacy. As from the 1920's, by means of "minority networks," particularly in Iranian Azerbaïdjan, the latter creates a real sphere of influence. At the beginning of this period, the above-mentioned networks are active in three essential sectors: the diplomatic mission of the SSR of Armenia in Persia (till 1922), the Armenian section of the Iranian Communist Party, Adalat, in Tabriz, and finally in the secret service the members of which are mostly recruited from the Armenian community.
