COBSI AHXiaOPLE,
February 6 # 19^9.
In my deapetch So, of July 11 last, I had
the honour to report that the differences which then
existed between the Turkish and Perelan contentions had
prevented the conclusion of any agreement in the frontier
negotiations between these two Governmonta*
£• aince I wrote that despatch no further negotiations
have taken place. But, according to reports which have
recently been communicated confidentially to & member of my
staff by the Irak Minister, events have recently taken place
in Kurdistan which have decided the Turkish Covernsnent to
make serious efforts to brin* these negotiations to an end.
3. The report is to the effect that at Aii U&gh, in the
Hekkiari Vilayet, five thousand iiurds have risen against the
Government and have wiped out s battalion of troop® which waa
sent against them. This disaster is said to have decided
the Turkish Government to deal energetically with the rising
in the spring. Eut any ection against the Kurds of Hekkiari
may have repercussions outside the frontiers of Turkey and the
Government is therefore anxious to settle the frontier
dispute with Persia during the next few moot he.
4. At the present moment the Persian Ambassador is still
in Constantinople but I shall not fail to report any
information which reaches me as to the progress of the
negotiatione.
5. I am sending copies of this despatch to His Majesty's
He press ntat Ives at Baghdad and Tehran.
I have etc.
