The translation of a letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Persia [Iran], Meerza Abul Hussun Khan [Mirza Abu'l-Hasan Khan Shirazi], in Sultaneah [Solţānīyeh], to Minister for Foreign Affairs of Russia, Count Karl Robert Nesselrode, dated 18 Zerhugel [Zū al-Ḥijjah] AH 1241 [24 July 1826]. In the letter, Meerza Abul Hussun Khan remonstrates against the alleged infringements of the Russian border authorities upon Persian territory, at variance with the terms of the Treaty of Goolistan [Gulistan], including the military occupation of lands on the shores of the lake of Gokcheh [Lake Sevan].
