NO CONFIRMATION
There was no immediate confirmation from central government sources at Tehran. Radio Tabriz accounts of the fighting were re-j ported by the London press and the * Swiss and Belgian radios.
[ The reports of civil war followed a breakdown in negotiations between Azerbaijan and the central | government over the extent of autonomy to be granted the northern province, which seceded from Iran
last December.
i Premier Ahmad Ghavam Es-Sul-taneh told the United Press during the negotiations that he would use force against the Azerbaijanis if they refused to accept his seven-| point peace proposal.	»
ATTACK EXPECTED
The Azerbaijanis were expecting the central government's attack, according to a delayed dispatch liled j from Tabriz yesterday by United Press correspondent Sam Souki. This dispatch said the Azerbaijanis had deployed 15,000 men, practically j their entire army, along the southern border.
Other reports from Tehran for the past 2 weeks have described steady government troop movements to the north in the wake of the Red army's withdrawal from Azerbaijan.
