-
Copy of dispatch No. 15 from HM Chargé d’Affaires to Persia [Iran], Henry Willock, at Camp Sultanieh [Solţānīyeh], to HM Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, George Canning, of 18 July 1826. The letter reports the unsuccessful termination of the negotiations between the Russian envoy to Persia, Prince Minchikoff [Prince Aleksandr Sergeevich Menshikov], and the Persian Government, concerning the frontier dispute between Russia and Persia in the Caucasus. Willock reports the circumstances of the termination of the negotiations, and the intention of the Shah of Persia to occupy the disputed territory (land on the shores of the lake of Gokcha [Lake Sevan]) by force. Willock details what he believes to be the Persian plans for hostilities and gives his views on the possible course of events, indicating that he believes that the outbreak of war between Russia and Persia is inevitable.
This document was originally enclosed in Willock’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 23 July 1826 (IOR/L/PS/9/70/99).
