pied by a small body of Persian troops. Another point of dis
agreement was Zohab, a partition of which district between the
two powers was ordered by the Treaty of Erzerum, but was for
long ignored, whilst quite recently a third dispute has arisen about
certain districts round Bagsai and Ghoreibeh, west of the Pusht-i-
Kuh mountains of Luristan, and near the Tigris, over which the
Persians claim disputed rights of cultivation. These cases are
typical of others that might at any moment arise upon a stretch
ot frontier so long and so completely lacking either in precision
or in finality. Were not Turkey and Persia each so desperately
afiaid of war, and so apprehensive of unloosing the turbulent ele
ments that, at the best of times, preserve but an ambiguous
quietude in the border mountains, a state of affairs so abnormal
could not fail to lead to international conflict.
