r, Angora, October 29, 1932.
I HAVE the honour to report that the Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
irza Mohammed Ali Khan Feroughi, arrived in Constantinople by Simplon-
-ient Express on the 26th October, and left the same day for Angora, where he
.11 stay until the 2nd November. During his stay he will be the guest of the
irkish Government, and will assist at the ceremonies given in connexion with
e anniversary of the proclamation of the Turkish Republic.
2. Feroughi Khan is accompanied by Abbas Guli Khan Garib, Musa Khan
fendiyari, Hasan Khan Kayat, ex-Under-Secretary of State at the Persian
inistry of Economy, Gulam Eiza Khan, head of the Eastern Department of the
jrsian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and Colonels Muhsin Khan and
ehmet Khan Diba.
3. At Constantinople Feroughi Khan informed the representative of the
Hakimiyeti Milliye ' r that the purpose of his visit to Turkey was to return the
sit paid to Tehran in January of this year by Tevfik Eu§tu Bey- He added that
[ questions of major importance between the two countries had been settled,
mversations would take place about economic matters and about a projected
mmercial treaty. He also hoped to renew a Treaty of Neutrality, Non-
jgression, and Collaboration. Falih Eifki Bey, in a leader in the <c Hakimiyeti
illiye " welcoming Feroughi Khan, attributes the improvement in the relations
tween Turkey and Persia to the establishment of a new regime in each country,
^publican Turkey adopted the policy of peace and friendship with neighbouring
ates, and Feroughi Khan, who as Ambassador at Angora had been able to
nvince himself of the sincerity of Turkey's policy, had played his part in
plaining Turkey's aims to his Shah and in bringing the countries together.
4. It is an interesting commentary on Persian mentality, as revealed by
r. Hoare s despatches, to note that, in the course of an interview given to the
Republique ' by Feroughi Khan, at which the Persian Ambassador was present,
e latter interrupted an historical retrospect of the quarrels between the two
untries, alleged to be due to the sinister influence exercised by Sultans and
lahs, to call all to witness that foreign countries especially had profited by these
tarrels, and to declare that in future the friendship existing between the two
ster nations, each of which had wxm its national independence, would be proof
jamst every external assault.
5 At a banquet given in honour of Feroughi Khan on the 27th October,
rdial speeches were made by him and by Tevfik Ru§tu Bey, attributing Turco-
3rsian friendship to the bonds of mutual interest and to the efforts of the rulers
the countries who brought about the Treaty of Neutrality and Friendship of
e 22nd April, 1926, which opened a new era in Turco-Persian relations fruitful
agreements and understandings.
6 I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister
Tehran.
I have, &c.
