There was a large gathering of Persian officials and notables.
Subesquently, the Consular party with their Russian, Indian and Persian
escorts passed through Julfa, the streets and balconies of which were crowded
with spectators. At one point on the route a triumphal arch had been erected.
The party entered the town by the Pul-i-Allah Verdi, saluting, as it passed,
the Russian flag which now waves over that bridge, and by the lower Chahar
Bagh Avenue reaching the Consulate shortly after 10 a.m.

(not stated) of mounted men of Chiragh Ali and of Zargham-ul-Sultaneh. The
Germans have been forbidden entrance to Burujin itself but are permitted to
draw supplies from thence freely.
