- Description:
- Abstract: Copy of a letter from the Russian Commander-in-Chief ‘between the Caspian and Black Sea’, General Paskevitch [General Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich-Erivansky, Governor-General of Georgia], to Meerza Abul Hussan Khan [Mīrzā Abū al-Ḥasan Khān Shīrāzī, Persian Minister for Foreign Affairs], dated 11 Rejib [Rajab] 1243 [28 January 1828]. General Paskevitch indicates that it was the fault of the Persian Government that the peace negotiations to end the war between Persia [Iran] and Russia [Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828] at Dekerghan [Azarshahr] had broken down, due to the fact that the Persian Government wished for Persian territory occupied by Russia [the Province of Azerbaijan] to be evacuated before the payment of reparations to Russia. General Paskevitch indicates that once the reparations money has reached the East India Company Envoy to Persia, Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonald Kinneir, ‘the terms of the treaty will be fulfilled’.This document was originally enclosed, numbered 1 in enclosure No. 8, in Macdonald Kinneir’s letter to the Secret Committee of the East India Company of 16 March 1828 (IOR/L/PS/9/71/201).Physical description: 1 item (2 folios)
