Treaties of Erzeroum was regarded as problematical; and this last ob-
staole to the universal application of the new Russo- Persian tariff was
adroitly removed by the Persian Government. In April 1902, the
Persian Ambassador at Constantinople proposed that the existing
Turko-Persian commercial regime should be replaced by most favoured
nation treatment on both sides ; and the scheme was received^ not
unfavourably by the Porte, as under it the duties to which Turkish ex
ports-chiefly raw materials—were liable would be lighter than those
actually in force, while Persian imports into Turkey would still pay
duty at 8 per cent. ad valorem. The Grand Vazir of imkey had
assured the British Ambassador at Constantinople, Sir Nicolas O Conor,
that no arrangement modifying the commercial articles of the treaties
of Erzeroum would be made without consulting the British Embassy ;
but the pledge was broken ; and on the 5th of September 1902, during
a visit of M. Naus to Constantinople, a most favoured nation agreement
was concluded between Persia and Turkey by an exchange of diplomatic
notes constituting a Convention. The Convention was m^e ermmaWe
on one year's notice given by either country, a clause of which as we

regime of the Erzeroum Treaties was restored.
