The Caliph's brow is furrowed in concentration.

To distill this exchange to its essentials, can it be said that the Romans have made the following statement?

- If the list in clause R1 is not reinstated in full, clauses R2 and A4 will be dropped and the following will constitute the Roman position:

- They modify clause T1 - Heraclea will remain Roman.

- They accept clause T2, the return of Ikonion, and clause A1, the return of Antioxiea/Adana on the condition that either clause T1 is dropped (and those three settlements returned to Roman control), or suitable compensation is paid to Rome.

- If clause T1 is dropped the Romans will also accept clause A5, Seleukia to be Armenian.

- They accept clause A5.

- They reject clauses T3, A2 and A3.

- Clause R3 remains agreed by all parties, subject to 'clarification', which I interpret to mean 'verification'.


I assume from the Armenian delegate's outburst that they reject the Roman position.

But we should hear from the other party before we proceed - what is the Turkish response to the current position?
