“ I am informed confidentially by the Russian Ambassador that he is
proposing to his Government that as regards the Northern frontier they should
adopt the same procedure as ourselves in respect of the Southern frontier, that
is to say, that a note indicating the line as desired by his Government should be
presented in St. Petersburg.
“ He is of opinion that, after this, the two Powers should simultaneously
press acceptance of their proposals on the Porte, and eventually, conjointly with
Persia, come to an understanding as to what concessions the latter can make to
Turkey in return for the advantageous frontier which the two Powers
securing her.
“ He is not as yet prepared to make any suggestion as to the possibility of
concessions being made by Persia in Zohab.”

I have received the following telegram from His Majesty’s Ambassador at
Constantinople :—
Turko-Persian Frontier.
Begins :—“ Unless we can inform Persian delegates of the means taken to
secure their interests, it would be difficult for us to urge on them the acceptance
of the explanatory notes.
“ I therefore strongly recommend that the map be communicated to them
forthwith. If indeed it has not been done already, it is probable that the Turks
will inform them of the note of 18th July to the Turkish Ambassador in London,
which would place us in a very false position vis & vis Persia.” EnC

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.
