Turkish Ambassador called October 4th to make n a little
communication ,, ♦ He prefaced this by professing that his Only
function and desire..were to support the^policy of His Majesty*s
Government in Persia and insinuating that during'.-the . last- three
months collaboration had been somewhat lacking on the side of
His Majesty’s Legation. He admitted that he had disapproved
of our policy in regard to suspects,-because he-thought, such
arrests created more enemies than they-immobilised* Neverthe
less our policy was his policy, < Turkey=.also wanted a strong
and independent-Persia,'* For himself he only asked one thing
viz. our help in the following matter. v 7
2, There were, the Ambassador said, elements in Persia
which were Turkish by race and religion viz. people of
Azerbaijan Shasevens and Kashgai. These elements were and
must remain for ever part of the Persian State, Turkey had
no irredentist aims. Nevertheless she could not disinterest
herself entirely from their fate and he looked to His Majesty’s
Legation for help should their interests be injured.
t 3, I spoke suitably about collaboration, deprecated
raising the vexed question of race, agreed that we also desired
a strong and independent Persia (witness the treaty) and said
that^help of the Legation which he desired was already being
furnished since our policy, with which I had kept him informed,
was to encourage the Persian Government to maintain order but
at the same time to remedy genuine grievances wherever they
might^be found. In what way were the interests of the Turkish-
speaking element being injured? The Ambassador said that a
large number of the richer people of Tabriz had fled to Tehran and
even Isfahan and were afraid to return. I suggested that this,
like the flight of most of the officials from Azerbaijan, was
rather proof of cowardice which was so strong an element in the
Persian character. The Ambassador said that anyhow they were
(/
afraid/
