THIS DOCUMENT IS THE PROPERTY OF HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY’S GOVERNMENT
I HAVE the honour to report that in the course of an interview with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs this afternoon, his Excellency gave me a breif
summary of the discussions which he intended to open with Feroughi Khan as
soon as the festivities with which his Highness’s visit is at present being
celebrated have come to an end. I gather both from, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs and from Feroughi Khan himself that the business to be
transacted amounts to very little, and is more designed to provide some pabulum
for public opinion in both countries than to fulfil any urgent political need.
2. The Treaty of Friendship and Security of the 22nd April, 1926, will
be renewed, though, if I understood Tevfik Ru§tu rightly, article 1, recording
inviolable peace and lasting friendship, will be taken out and recorded in a fresh
and perpetual treaty. The two statesmen will also make a general survey of the
relations of Persia with all her neighbours, especially with Russia, where
Turkey’s close friendship with Moscow may prove useful to Persia. The
Minister for Foreign Affairs was possibly too polite to say so, but I have no
doubt that he will be very fully informed of Mr. Hoare’s negotiations with the
Persian Government. I might note in this connexion that Feroughi Khan, though
as friendly and amiable as in the days when he was my colleague here, steered
our conversation hastily into another direction whenever it looked like touching
on the present relations between Great Britain and Persia.
3. Tevfik Rii^tii Bey further said that an extradition treaty might possibly
also be negotiated.
4. I have dealt in another despatch with the most important question to
be discussed by Tevfik Ru§tu Bey and Feroughi Khan, namely, the relations
between Turkey, Persia and Iraq.
5. I have sent a copy of this despatch to His Majesty’s Minister at Tehran.
