- Scope & Content:
-
Copy of dispatch No. 85 from the East India Company Envoy to Persia [Iran], Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, in Turkamun Chaee [Turkamanchay], to the Chief Secretary to the Government of India, George Swinton, of 22 February 1828. Macdonald Kinneir reports the signature of the peace treaty ending the war between Russia and Persia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] at Turkamun Chaee [Treaty of Turkamanchay]. He describes the treaty as ‘humiliating’ for Persia, but indicates his opinion that the treaty represents a positive outcome, as it has averted the ‘impending destruction’ of Persia as an independent kingdom by Russia, and has obviated the risk of a ‘collision’ between Britain and Russia, which might have attended further military advances by the latter.
This document was originally enclosed in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 22 February 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/189).
