Sir G. Clerk to Sir John Simon.—(Received February 26.)
(No. 63.)
Angora. February 15, 1932.
WITH reference to my despatch No. 9 of the 6th January last, I have the
honour to report that the Persian Ambassador has informed the military attache
to His Majesty’s Embassy that the Shah and the Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs were able to settle by a short discussion the details of the frontier agree
ment, regarding which the Turkish and Persian General Staffs had. after
protracted negotiations, arrived at a complete deadlock.
2. Sadek Khan also informed Major O’Leary that the Turkish General
Staff had rejected the proposal to divert the Trebizond-Maku road so that it
should pass through Bezirgan, on the pretext that the last-named place was
situated in a military zone.
3. I am sending a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister at
Tehran.
I have, &c.
GEORGE R. CLERK.
