[21232] No. 1.
Sir W. Townley to Sir Edward Grey.—(Received May 8.)
(No. 94.)
Sir, Tehran, April 24, 1913.
I HAVE the lion our to transmit herewith copy of a despatch which I have-
received from His Majesty’s consul at Kermanshah, respecting the action of the Turks
in nationalising Persians in Kurdistan.
I have, &c.
WALTER TOWNLEY.
Enclosure in No. 1.
Consul McDouall to Sir W. Townley.
(No. 35.)
Sir. Kermanshah, April 10, 1913.
I HAVE the honour to inform you that the British agent at Senneh reports
regarding the acceptance of Persians as Turkish subjects as follows :—
For about fifty years there has been a Turkish consul in Kurdistan, but formerly
he was of no importance and had few subjects. Some fifteen years ago the then consul
began giving pajDers to Persian subjects. This was reported to the Government, and
the then Governor, Ahtisham-es-Sultaneh, took the matter up, and some eight hundred
families with Turkish papers were proved to be Persian subjects. 3 he Turks did not
act in this way after that till during the last few years, when Persia has been in
disorder. The consul then began to support Persian subjects with Turkish papers
strongly, and to grant passports to others. Some people obtained these passports to
avoid Persian oppression; many others, who are bad characters, in order to escape
punishment. The usual plan is to send to Sulamenia, only four stages distant from
Senneh, or to some other place in Turkey, and obtain papers, which are accepted by
the consul on payment of a fee of £T.20. Now there are about two thousand families
in Senneh and the neighbourhood who have Turkish papers, and many of them are bad
characters.
I have, &c.
w. McDouall.

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.
