His Majesty’s Foreign Office despatched the following telegram to
St. Petersburg on August 23rd, No. 709 :—
Begins. I am prepared to co-operate with the Russian Government to bring
pressure to bear at Tehran, or (the Persian delegates having already accepted
the note) to ignore the attitude and action of the Persian Government, according
as the Russian Government may think advisable.
Should it be desired to exercise pressure at Tehran, it might be best
accomplished by pointing out to the Persian Government that it was only on
the express condition that the explanatory note should be regarded as of equal
validity to the Treaty (which they otherwise announced that they would regard
as nul et non avenu) that the Porte consented to ratify the Treaty of Erzeroum.
In the event of the Persian Government failing to confirm the action of their
delegates at Constantinople, the Turks may in consequence disavow the Treaty
of Erzeroum with the result that the principal claim of the Persian Government
to any part of the province of Zohab will be lost by the Persian Government.
Ends.

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.
