This is a historical, political and legal study of the Shan al-Arab dispute between the government of Iran and the Republic of Iraq, a dispute which has not received the international attention it deserves, while it is a perpetual threat to peace in this area of the Middle East. The Iranian government claims that the Shaft al- Arab is a border ever between the two states and, being a navigable river, it should be divided between Iraq and Iran according to the Thalweg line. This claim has always been unacceptable to Iraq, and not in accordance its the historical facts. Dr Khalid al- Izzi has attempted to study this dispute as objectively s possible, relying upon Iraqi as well as Iranian sources. As a lawyer, the author hopes that his work may help in solving this dis-ute which has for so long marred relations between these two Islamic countries. Those who are interested in the study of Arab- Persian relations will !so find this book useful and stimulating. Mainly contents: Part I. History of the Conflict: 1.

1934réf. 194745London: Iraq Petroleum Company Limited 1934. Supplying Europe with Middle East oil First edition celebrating the construction of this critical oil artery. It discusses the history of the project its engineering and logistics challenges and the local diplomacy required to receive the necessary permissions. The many photographic illustrations show the pipeline at various stages of completion and profile the company employees that planned and organised this feat. In 1927 the Iraq Petroleum Company discovered a rich oilfield at Kirkuk and began to extract and transport crude at a never-before-seen scale. First the British proposed to connect Kirkuk with Haifa in Mandatory Palestine. However the French government demanded that the oil instead be sent to Tripoli so a twin pipeline was conceived that could service both ports. The pipes were 30.5 centimetres in diameter could carry a million tons of oil a year each and were supported periodically by 12 pumping stations. The two lines were constructed in parallel from Kirkuk to the city of Haditha the location of Pumping Station K-3 where they split into the northern "T Line" and the southern "H Line". Construction began in 1932 and was completed by 1934 on a budget of approximately £10000000. "Materials from overseas exceeded 200000 tons and building materials obtained locally at least equalled that" p. 2 The oil flowed until 1948 when the formation of the state of Israel led the Iraqi government to cut off the Haifa branch. This work details not just the construction of the pipeline but the communications infrastructure water supply transport routes and medical services that supported the workers. Chapter 13 discusses the company's land purchases employment of local labourers and artisans coverage in the press and work in the desert where they both employed and often had to guard against members of local tribes.

2003Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In English. 177 p. For several decades, the Iraqi government has pursued a deliberate policy of misinformation concerning the Turkmen. In particular, so-called legitimate 'sources' of information have relied on the Iraqi government's demographic 'reports' which, unfortunately, have been invaribly distorted so as to present much-reduced figures for the total population of each distinctly ethnic group within Iraq. This book is a synopsis of the history of the Turkmen in Iraq against a background of the international treaties and covenants governing human rights which, unfortunately, have never been applied to the Turkmen. It concludes with a brief survey of the actual size of the Turcoman population in Iraq and the political destiny of the Turkmen people. Contents: The Origin of the Tuirklman; Citizenship; International Treaties & Conventions; The Political Struggle of Iraqi Turkmen; The Turkmen Population of Iraq; The Ethnic Composition of Turkmen in Iraq; The Political Path of Iraqi Turkmen; Current Proposals for Federalism in Iraq; Appendices.
2005New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In English. 267 p., 1 color map. This book aims at two things, the first to prove the actual existence of the Turkmens in Iraq, and to reply to those who considered them extraneous to the Iraqi consciousness, by presenting solid evidence of their geographical and demographic existence; and to show their participation in Iraqi affairs and prove their inclusion in the Iraqi nation. The second aim is to prove that racial and cultural diversity enrich Iraq society, and that all efforts must be directed towards serving a free, united, varied and democrat Iraq, where the rule of the law and human rights and dignity are maintained.
