'Memorandum on the Affairs of Persia. August 1892 to October 1893.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The memorandum is a summary of news and events in Persia of interest to the British Government. The subject matter largely concerns itself with reports indicating that the current Shah, Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, is very unpopular, and discussion on whether Britain and Russia should work together over the succession — in the event of his death — in order to maintain the independence of Persia as per their understanding of 1834. It therefore also includes brief mentions of riots in Astrabad [Gorgān], Bakhari [Chahār Maḩāl va Bakhtīārī], Hamadan, and the occupation of a telegraph office at Shiraz.
There is also brief coverage of the state of Persian relations with Afghanistan, Turkey, and Russia, including a mention of a recent a recent boundary treaty signed with the latter in 27 May 1881.
The memorandum was written by Francis Leverson Bertie, Foreign Office.
