Memorandum: -
1 enclose a coj y of an Ahlan which has
been issued by Ills Highness's orders regarding
! Bahrain subjects acquiring foreign nationality
|; documents v/hon outside Bahrain, It has come
li to his notice that many hundreds of Bahrain
subjects who go to Persia on route for Iraq
ti acquire Persian nationality papers on arriving
in Persia which enables them to enter Iraq with­
out delay or difficulty. In vlow of the pro-
II : sent politicul situation between Persia and
Bahrain this procedure appears to Ills Highness
U to bo dangerous. The people who adopt this
practice arc mostly bhias who are visitinG tho
Holy Places in Iraq, they disembark in Persian
l! ports and then cross from Persia to Iraq, ir
a register of these people is kept by the Persian
. 1 authorities it might bo orgued that many people
from Bahrain are desirous of acquiring Persian
nationality and, in fact, do so.
