About this item
- Content
The translation of a note delivered by Meerza Sadok [Mirza Muhammad Sadiq Marvazi] to the Russian authorities in Georgia during his mission to negotiate a solution to the ongoing frontier dispute between Russia and Persia [Iran] concerning land on the shores of the lake of Gokcheh [Lake Sevan]. The note conveys the ‘spirit of the Shah’s message’ concerning the frontier dispute, denying the validity of the previous agreement made concerning the frontier, as negotiated by Futteh Allee Khan [Fath-‘Ali Khan Rashti], which the Shah refuses to ratify. The note demands that the Russian authorities therefore ‘pause’ until either a Persian envoy has successfully concluded negotiations at St Petersburgh [St Petersburg], or else the Russians provide Persia with a formal notification of their refusal to ‘pause’.
This document was originally enclosed in the letter of HM Chargé d’Affaires to Persia, Henry Willock, to the Secret Committee Pre-1784, the Committee responsible for protecting East India Company shipping. Post-1784, its main role was to transmit communications between the Board of Control and the Company's Indian governments on matters requiring secrecy. of the East India Company of 2 April 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/75).
