Paperback / softback. New. Almost from time immemorial a border warfare has been carried on between the Koordish tribes on the confines of Turkey and Persia. The governments of Turkey and Persia requested the assistance of England and Russia to draw up a treaty of peace, and to come to a distinct understanding as to where the line of border ran between the two empires.
