Treaty of Peace between Turkey and Persia, signed at Zohab, May 17, 1639.
Translation of an Extract from “ The Annals of Naeemau,” vol. i, p. 686 , being “ the
Manner in which Peace was Concluded and the Ambassador’s Conditions of Peace.”
[Communicated by the Turkish Plenipotentiary at Erzeroum, November 17, 1843.]
HE (the Ambassador Saroukhan) begged that certain lands and fortresses should
be left in the possession of the Shah, but the commander-in-chief would not listen
thereto nor show any indulgence; after much discussion, therefore, they agreed
together in this wise :—
In the province of Bagdad, Jessaun, Bedra, Mendeljeen, Eairna, and Hairtenk,
unto the place called Sair-meel, the plains between the divisions Zeyau-ed-Deen and
Haurounee of the tribe Jauf, the villages to the westward of the fortress Zenjeer, and
those parts of the mountains above the fortress Zaulim, near Shehr-i-Zoul, which look
towards the said fortress, as far as the pass leading to Shehr-i-Zoul, and the fortress
Kizilja, with its dependencies, shall be held in possession by the Sultan; besides these,
Akhiskha, Kars, Yan, Shehr-i-Zoul, Bagdad, Bussorah, and the other forts and
fortresses, districts, and lands, mountains, and hills within their limits shall not be
disturbed on the part of the Shah. The castles between Mendeljeen and Dairtenk,
and Beera and Zairdooyee (called also Zumurroud-Maivau), and the villages and
fortresses to the eastward of the fortress Zenjeer, Avramaun and its dependent
villages, Mihribaun and its dependencies, shall be held in possession by the Shah.
The places within their frontiers shall not he disturbed by Turkey. Also the fortress
of Zenjeer, which is on the summit of a hill, those of Kotour and Maukew, on the
frontier of Yan, and that of Maghauzberd, towards Kars, shall be demolished by both
parties.
