Document:
Soviet diplomacy has contributed to the establishment of normal relations between the government of ibn saud,  and other muslim countries, including because it weakened the uk's position. In a letter to the soviet ambassador in persia k. K. Yureneva from 29 september 1925 people's commissar for foreign affairs g.
V. Chicherin reported: "Reuters telegrams supposedly made by wahabi destruction of makkah and medina from the beginning had our suspicions they are correct. The situation recently in the middle east clearly shows that england is alarmed at the success of ibn saud and the prospects of the establishment of political contact between ibn saud and the muslim countries" . Ibn saud gv chicherin in a letter dated 31 october 1926, chicherin informed the soviet representative k.
A. Khakimov, who was in jeddah : "To date, we have managed to achieve in persia some breakthrough in anti-wahhabi company. The successful holding of the counter, aimed to weaken the anti-wahhabi sentiments were facilitated by the fact that reza shah is interested in the weakening of the clerics who are trying to amass a “wahhabi atrocities” political capital and strengthen thus their position in domestic politics. Reza shah sympathetically refers to the ability to weaken clerics, at least by supporting the campaign in the opposite direction" .
K. A. Hakimov when saudi-persian relations were norMalized, the soviet side in the person of its representative n. T.
Torekulov a letter dated 16 august 1929, ibn saud expressed his satisfaction with this fact: "I have the honour to present to your majesty on behalf of the ussr government sincere congratulations on the occasion of the establishment of normal diplomatic relations and strengthening of friendly ties between the government of your majesty and the government of his majesty the shah of persia by mutual aspirations of both governments to convergence, which corresponds to the aspirations and the soviet government. " . N. T. Turiakulov the same applies to Yemen, chicherin in the above mentioned letter dated 31 october 1926 instructed khakimov: ". [our] main objective in the hijaz at present is the strengthening of ibn saud.
. [we should] promote the friendship between prince saud and John , to keep ibn saud from khilafat adventure, to push for a peaceful policy towards all neighbouring countries. In a very cautious manner and only under the political angle to advise saud to adopt a less intransigent and less dogmatic stance on religious disagreements between wahhabis and other muslim persuasions" . Yahya hamid ad-din not accidentally chicherin gave the issue of relations with ibn saud John great importance. Two sovereign arab states with coordinated foreign policy could create for the interests of the UK a serious threat both in the region and throughout the muslim world, including in India, the most important british colony.
Turiakulov and he saw it, being "On the scene": "I believe that the issues newdisco-Yemeni relations from the point of view of strengthening national arab states on the peninsula and the inevitable collision of their interests with the plans of british imperialism is of great importance. The agency in jeddah should have a target of comprehensive study of the question of newdisco-Yemeni relations and the conditions of their development" . Special attention to this relationship turiakulov paid in 1931  saudi researcher m. Al-turki konkretisiert the situation, with an emphasis on "Eircom"  the issue: ". The problem of eliminating any friction between the two states.
Caused by the saudi expansion into asir province, was put. In the context of non-english strengthening regional influence. During any serious cornering the saudi-Yemeni relations in connection with asher Britain would mediate in resolving bilateral border disputes and its impact on the saudi and Yemeni politics has increased significantly. But this influence was required to narrow" .
Moreover, even in 1926, the kingdom was offered to ibn saud arms, pushing him against Yemen, and yahya promised to aid against the najd.  asher was perhaps the only stumbling block between Yemen and najd. Yahya claimed the Southern asir and ibn saud captured in 1922, North of asir and concluded in 1926 the contract with eresidae, began to claim the whole of asir. "Before 1926, the contacts between John and ibn saud were sporadic, but after asher has ceased to perform the role of a buffer state, both ruler closely faced a problem of mutual relations.
The imam has not renounced claims to asir, and the establishment of a protectorate marked the beginning of the saudi-Yemeni territorial dispute".  yahya until some time restrained their impulses to annex the South of asir because he was in a tense relationship with the UK, challenging her right to South Yemen. In 1926, the Yemeni delegates participated only in the makkah congress, ignoring the cairo congress, directed against ibn saud.  27 oct 1930 hasan al-idrisi was forced to sign with ibn saud a new contract that made him the nominal power.
Unhappy idrisid began to establish secret contacts with John.  in the end, amir hassan of despair rose in 1932 aircav uprising against the saudi government, which was quickly suppressed. Asinska elite fled to Yemen and ibn saud demanded from yahya of issue. Despite the fact that in 1930, between Yemen and najd was the signing of the treaty of friendship and good-neighbourly relations, and in 1931, an agreement was signed on border issues, yahya was preparing for war as the party seeking to get what you want.
In order to protect themselves from the South, yahya 11 february 1934, went to the conclusion of a treaty with great Britain. 22 mar 1934 between Yemen and saudi arabia started war declared by ibn saud after the failure of John to comply with his demands: evacuation of Yemeni troops from the occupied territories employed in 1933, restoring existing borders, conquering both the results. As a result of active fighting saudi troops drove the Yemenis out of asher, captured part of the Yemeni tihama and on may 6 entered al-hudaydah. In may, under the mediation of the higher islamic council began negotiations, during which the Yemeni delegation has agreed to accept preliminary peace terms.
May 20 in et-taif (saudi arabia), was signed the treaty of muslim friendship and arab fraternity, in which Yemen renounced claims on asher. In february of 1936, the treaty was supplemented by two annexes, which established the boundaries between the participants: the area remained for jizan ksa and controversial area of najran were divided between the parties.  in this war, Italy, despite the fact that not provided the promised Yemen aid, was on the side of yahya, and the UK was negotiating with ibn saud, trying to act as a mediator, as it was supposed to soviet diplomats. The first minister and the manager of the office of foreign affairs of Yemen raghib ben rafik informed litvinova about the ratification of the peace treaty John a telegram dated june 20, 1934, to which litvinov june 22, said a thank-you telegram.
 apparently, yahya at this time was in need of moral support. But ibn saud was sometimes very insecure. The fact of the annexation by Italy of ethiopia, states in the surrounding region, could not concern to the king of saudi arabia, which lasted until 1938, when it signed the anglo-italian agreement to preserve the status-quo in the region .  notes  abd-al-aziz bin abd ar-rahman al saud (ibn saud; 1880-1953) - the king of saudi arabia (1932).
