Sir John Simon to Mr. Howe (Tehran).
(No. 766.)
! Sir, Foreign Office, December 28, 1931.
WITH reference to my predecessor's despatch No. 596 of the 15th October,
^ enclosing a copy of a note, dated the 9th April, 1929, from the Turkish Minister
for Foreign Affairs to the Persian Ambassador at Angora, giving the terms of
the frontier agreement of that date between the Turkish and Persian
Governments, I transmit to you the accompanying copy of the Turco-Persian
Convention, concluded on the same date, for the establishment of order and
security in the frontier regions.
2. The text of the convention has been communicated to His Majesty's.
Embassy in Turkey by the Turkish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, who state that
neither of the two supplementary protocols referred to in articles 4 and 7 of the
convention has been concluded, and that the date mentioned in article 5 is
correctly given as the 23rd April, 1336 (i.e., 1920), and is not an error for 1926,
the date of the Turco-Persian Treaty of Friendship, as might not unreasonably be
supposed.
I am, &c.
JOHN SIMON.
Enclosure in No. 1.
Turco-Persian Convention for the Establishment of Order and Security in the
Frontier Regions.

Le President de la Republique turque : Son Excellence Tewfik Rouchdy
