Halavah Khanum's petition to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Halavah Khanum, a citizen of the Ottoman Empire and wife of ʻAlikhan Bani Ardalani, a clerk in Iran’s Department of Procurements in Karkuk who was killed by Ottoman bandits, asks for her husband’s salary. The Ottoman Empire has not accepted her request, since her husband was an Iranian, and has referred it to the government of Iran.
