No.336 OF 16/6/34
Confidential.
NOe873/Cc
Iraq Ministry for Foreign Affairs
Bagdad, 7th June, 1934.
Dear Mr .Forbes,
I have the honour to explain to you that this
Ministry had aslced the Iraqi Legation, Ankara, for a
number of copies in Turkish of the Minutes of the Meetings
of the Turkish-Iraqi-Persian Frontier Delimitation Commission
held in 1914. Upon the Legation’s asking the Turkish
Foreign Ministry for copies of the said minutes, the latter
replied that owing to the declaration of general
mobilisation in 1914 the minutes in question had acquired
no official nature. In Tiew of the importance of this
declaration, owing to the bearing it has on the frontier
line determined in 1914, I thought it desirable to forward
to you, for information, a copy of the Turkish Foreign
Ministry 5 s letter in Turkish, together with an English
translation thereof.
I avail myself of this opportunity to convey to you
an expression of my highest consideration and esteem.
Yours sincerely,
(Sd.) Abdulla al Daralu.ji.
His Honour
Mr.OgiIvie-Forbes,
Charg4 d*Affaires,
British Embassy,
BAGDAD.
