Mr. Marling to Sir Edzoard Grey.—(Received July 15, 7 p.m.)
Constantinople, July 14, 1913.
(No. 337.) R. (July 15, 9’40 p.m.)
TURCO-PERSIAN frontier.
My telegram No. 329
Grand Vizier handed to me reply to our note of 3rd May on 12th July. It is
identical with the reply sent to Russian Ambassador (copy of which was sent you in
my despatch No. 614 on 11th July), and thus contains references to conversations, &c.,
between his Excellency and the Grand Vizier which are quite inapplicable in
addressing this embassy.
I pointed out this to Russian Ambassador [two groups undecypherable]. I
proposed to urge Grand Vizier to draft fresh reply omitting such references and also
objectionable description of frontier south of Kuretu River as status quo frontier. His
Excellency thought it preferable to formulate our objections to that description in
identic notes taking act of Turkish proposal. I agreed to this course, and also, as
Turkish description of frontier line is exceedingly vague, to ask the Grand Vizier_ to
trace line on map in conjunction with us and leave it to the two embassies to describe
in our identic reply.
Grand Vizier has no objection, and I think this course will be most expeditious.
About this item
- Content
The volume discusses the ongoing negotiations in Constantinople between the Ottoman, British and Russian Governments through 1912 and 1913 regarding the Turco-Persian Frontier. Also discussed is the decision in July 1913 to establish a delimitation commission to which Albert Charles Wratislaw and Arnold Talbot Wilson are appointed as representatives of the British Government.
Also discussed in the volume is the region of Kermanshah and in particular Qasr-i-Shirin [Qaşr-e Shīrīn], along with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company's concerns over the rights accorded to them in their 1901 concession should some of that territory be ceded to Turkey.
Further discussion relates to the movements of Russian and Turkish troops near the frontier and the withdrawal of Turkish troops from certain places along the frontier.
This volume is part two of two. Each part includes a divider which gives the subject and part numbers, the year the subject file was opened, the subject heading, and a list of correspondence references contained in that part by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
