Investigation has been made in regard to the places which were from old
time parts of Turkey, but which have been usurped by the Persians at different
epochs.
This investigation was based on the articles, still in force, of treaties signed

and explaining the said articles.

course in the Daftarkhana (Land Records office), the Turco-Persian frontier,
