PERBTA—APPENDIX NO. X—1847.
xlvii
Article 7.
The Turkish Government in conformity with former treaties will grant the
necessary immunities to Persian pilgrims, in order that they may visit in com
plete security, and free from every exaction, the holy places situated in Turkey,
and with a view to strengthen the relations of friendship and concord, which
ought to exist between the two Powers of Islam and their respective subjects.
The Turkish Government will further take into consideration the most appro
priate mode of conferring on other subjects of Persia, as well as its pilgrims, the
privileges enjoyed by them in order that they may be protected from every species
of violence and oppression. The Turkish Government will admit such Consuls
as His Majesty the Shah may appoint in Turkey wherever the interests of com
merce or the protection of the merchants or subjects of Persia render it necessary,
excepting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and the Porte will confer on the
said Consuls the privileges due to their official character, and which are enjoyed
by the Consuls of other friendly States. Persia, on her part likewise, will grant
to the Consuls appointed by His Majesty the Sultan in Persia, wherever their
residence may be necessary, the privileges enjoyed by the Consuls of Foreign
Powers in Persia and in the same way the protection stipulated in former Treaties
will be exercised towards the subjects or merchants of Turkey who may frequent
Persia, and they will be protected from every kind of insult or injury whether in
their trading concerns or other matters.
Article 8 .
The two Mahomedan Governments engage to take measures of precaution
to put an end to robbery by the frontier tribes of the two kingdoms, and will with
this object establish military posts on the frontier, and the two States will be
come responsible for the incursions made into either territory. Uncontested
tribes will be restored to the Government to which they belong, but contested
tribes whose dependence is doubtful, shall be at liberty to choose once for all theiv
future place of abode.
Article 9.
All the articles of the Treaty of Erzeroom, which are not specially altered in
this document, are to be inserted word for word in the new Treaty.

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.

Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.

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