About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence relating to applications from foreign interests for oil concessions in Persia [Iran]. These were of interest to the British Government because of the potential threat they presented to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company’s [APOC] monopoly on oil exploration and extraction in Persia. The correspondence covers: the agreement of an oil concession between the Persian Government and the Georgian national, Akaki Khoshtaria, covering north Persia, and the concession’s subsequent abrogation; the purchase of Khoshtaria’s interests by APOC; reports of American interests in oil exploration in Persia, including the Standard Oil Company; a concession for a coal mine and light railway running around Tehran, being sought by a private banker named Tomaniantz. The volume’s principal correspondents are: the British Minister at Tehran, Charles Murray Marling; the Foreign Office; the Director of APOC, Charles Greenway.
The volume contains several items written in French.
