- Title:
- ‘Translation of a letter from H. R. H. Prince Abbas Mirza to His Exly. Prince Metternick &. &. &.’
- Scope & Content:
-
Translation of a letter from Prince Abbas Mirza [Crown Prince of Persia, ʿAbbās Mīrzā Qājār] to Prince Metternick [Chancellor and Foreign Minister of the Austrian Empire, Prince Klemens von Metternich]. In the letter, Abbas Mirza details the circumstances leading to the outbreak of the ongoing war between Persia [Iran] and Russia in the Caucasus [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828], suggesting that Metternick might have received erroneous reports about the conflict from Russian sources. He alleges sustained Russian encroachments on Persian territory, based upon false pretences, and argues that Persia was forced to retaliate when attempts to seek redress failed and Russia continued to make encroachments. He indicates that Persia had been unwilling to go to war and had only done so to protect itself, and states that Persia would be willing to negotiate for peace.
This document was originally enclosed, numbered 5, in the letter of the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 22 June 1827 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/1).
