Treaty of Saadabad

Treaty of Saadabad

The Treaty of Saadabad (or the Saadabad Pact) was a non-aggression pact signed by Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan on July 9, 1938. This treaty lasted for five years. The treaty was signed in Tehran's Saadabad Castle and was part of an initiative for greater Middle Eastern-Oriental relations spearheaded by King Mohammed Zahir Shah of Afghanistan. Turkey sought friendly relations with its neighbours and was still recovering from its defeat in World War One.

In 1943 the Treaty was automatically extended for a further five years because none of the signatories had denounced it.
