PERSIA—APPENDIX NO. VI— 1823. X xi
Visit™ the two countries, in consideration of the Mahomedan religion, every
friendly treatment shall be extended, and they shall be protected from all molesta-
tion and injury.
Article 3.
The tribes of Hyderanloo and Sibbikee, which have been the cause of conten
tion between the two High Powers, and are now dwelling in the territory of the
Ottoman Empire, should they from thence transgress the boundary of Persia,
and commit any ravages, the Turkish Frontier authorities must endeavour to
prevent such proceedings and punish the offenders. In the case that these tribes
continue to invade and molest the Persian territory, and the Frontier authorities
do not put a stop to these aggressions, the Ottoman Government shall cease to
protect them, and should these tribes on their own will and choice return to Persia,
their departure shall not be prevented or opposed. But after their arrival in
Persia should they again desert to Turkey, the Ottoman Government shall afford
them no further protection, nor shall they be received. In the event of their ret urn
to Persia, should these tribes disturb the tranquillity of the Ottoman territory,

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.

The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
