ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh america they forget about this article i dont know why no no iknow because of O I L

[Faw_Peter]

what is the article about anyway, is this connected with Iraq?

[M.Helen]

Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution outlines a process made of three stages to remove and reverse the Hussein-era.

[Faw_Peter]

It's just that Americans pretended that this is the reason they started the war in Iraq. But now, they seem to forget about this article.

guys this article is about( kerkuk )the city that is the source of oil and its kurdish city but before the process sadam make it arabic by bringing arabic people from arabic cities now by 140 america promised kurds who live in the north of iraq to make kerkuk a kurdish city again but they never do it baecause of oil

[Terry]

I can't understand why they have to make the city a kurdish one?

[pink rose]

because its originally kurdish

[Steven]

Thereby Americans wanted to gain trust from the citizens. But, they're job of stealing oil is probably so difficult that they forgot about this article. And what is the attitude of the whole Iraqi population? Do they want to make it a Kurdish one? Or maybe they are against it?

[Benn]

Kurdish people:

[Terry]

Maybe there are problems because the Kurds speak two languages?

[Benn]

This is the density of the Kurds in the world:


Middle East

Turkey 10.6 to 15 million
Iran 4.8 to 6.6 million
Iraq 4 to 6 million
Syria 0.9 to 2.8 million


Asia / Caucasus

Afghanistan 200,000
Azerbaijan 150,000
Israel 100,000
Lebanon 80,000
Georgia 34,000 to 60,000
Kazakhstan 46,000
Armenia 45,000

yes, I also read that even in the Northern America there are about 50,000 Kurds, out of which 40,000 are in the USA. I think they are spread even more densely than the Gypsies.

[willyoumind]

WoW, I didn't even know that Turkey has over 10 million of Kurds...

Thanks Benn, for the very interesting fact about the amount of Kurds all around the world.

[Hakan G]

Kurds are like Jewish, they are spread all over the world, but they don't have the same political or economic power as the last ones have...

[Terry]

why namely Kurds and namely Jewish? They are different, at least apparently.

[Nicholas]

Maybe because of their religion, or most - traditions. Jewish are always helping each others. You may say they are true patriots, because they will never leave in trouble a Jewish.

[M.Helen]

so, anybody tell me: can we call a Kurd - Turk? Is it the same?
