   Extractions: Country Info Iraq Introduction Iraq General Data Iraq Maps Iraq Culture ... Iraq Time and Date Iraq Culture Back to Top Iraqi society is composed of sizable and distinct social groups whose differences and divisions have been only slowly and fitfully challenged by the emergence of a strong, centralized political regime and state apparatus. Moreover, there are regional and environmental differences between the scattered mountain villages whose economic base is rain-fed grain crops and the more densely populated riverine communities to the south that are dependent on intricate irrigation and drainage systems for their livelihood. There are also linguistic and ethnic differences. The most important exception to the Arab character of Iraq is the large Kurdish minority, estimated at 19 percent of the population, or 3,092,820 in 1987. According to official government statistics, Turkomans and other Turkic-speaking peoples account for only 2 to 3 percent of the population. There was previously a large Iranian population settled around the Shia holy cities of Karbala and An Najaf, and the southern port city of Basra; this element was largely expelled by government decree in 1971-72 and 1979-80, and in 1987 only an estimated 133,000 or 0.8 percent of the Iranian population remained. Divisions along religious lines are deeprooted. Although upward of 95 percent of Iraq's population is Muslim, the community is split between Sunnis and Shias; the latter group, a minority in the Arab world as a whole, constitutes a majority in Iraq. Numerous observers believe that the Shias make up between 60 and 65 percent of the inhabitants, although the data to support this figure are not firm (official government statistics set the number at only 55 percent). Of the non-Muslim communities, fragmented Christian sects cannot be more than 1 or 2 percent, concentrated mainly in the governorates of Nineveh and Dahuk. A formerly extensive Jewish community is to all practical purposes defunct. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and the defeat of the Arab armies in 1948-49 rendered the situation of Iraqi Jews untenable and led to a mass exodus, both to Israel and to Iran in 1950.

Al-Jaza'iri was appointed to serve as minister of culture last September. A member of the political bureau of the Iraqi Communist Party, al-Jaza'iri studied journalism in Prague and worked on the Arabic desk at Czechoslovak Radio during the 1960s and 1970s before traveling to northern Iraq to join the underground opposition to Saddam Hussein. RFE/RL sat down with him to discuss the state of cultural affairs in the country. Al-Jaza'iri: We did lose about 14,000 pieces, archaeological pieces. Until now, we were successful [recovering about] one-third of it. About 4,000 pieces we did get back, and about 10,000 are out of our hands. Now, in the museum itself, it's still very sad because of what has happened. Now, we are trying to use this opportunity to rebuild somehow, to reorganize the museum, and when we open it again it will be in better shape.

Sommaire OFK De par la race, la langue, les habitudes, les traditions et l'histoire, les Kurdes diffèrent des Arabes, puisqu'ils tirent leurs origines des Indo-Européens. Ainsi, ils ont leur culture propre qui les distingue également dans leur approche des affaires. Ils ont un comportement général très typique qui transparaît dans les négociations et les réunions : les Kurdes sont des Orientaux et avec eux la patience est de mise. En règle générale, les réunions d'affaires au Kurdistan sont informelles et très courtoises. Les rites des affaires sont de beaucoup les mêmes qu'ailleurs, et un fond de courtoisie et de bon sens devra guider les négociations pour éviter d'éventuels problèmes de protocole. Une bonne communication est évidemment d'une importance primordiale dans les réunions. Depuis le soulèvement de 1991 et la démocratisation de la société au Kurdistan d'Iraq, un grand nombre d'hommes d'affaires parle une langue étrangère et beaucoup sont à même de communiquer en anglais. Les Kurdes n'ont pas l'habitude d'utiliser des interprètes et en général, ils parlent l'arabe, le turc, le persan et l'anglais.

   Extractions: Main With the possibility of a real quagmire staring us in the face in Iraq, I don’t know what else to say but to reaffirm my conviction from decades of living it and thinking about it in the Third World: culture is all important, it can’t be changed or displaced overnight with institutions and law, it fights modernization with teeth and nails. Just as cultural atavism was found to be the real engine behind the anti-imperialist myths of my youth, our current good-intentioned idealism, lacking a foothold on reality, is discovering the power of culture in the Middle East. Victor Davis Hanson’s The Mirror of Fallujah “If we are to try to bring some good to the Middle East, then we must first have the intellectual courage to confess that for the most part the pathologies embedded there are not merely the work of corrupt leaders but often the very people who put them in place and allowed them to continue their ruin.” “So the question remains did Saddam create Fallujah or Fallujah Saddam?” Update, April 06

Panel resigns Iraq By RAY CONLOGUE - with a report from Mark MacKinnon in Baghdad - courtesy Globe and Mail, Saturday, April 19, 2003 - Page R1 The sacking of Iraq's National Museum last weekend means that as many as 170,000 stone, clay and gold objects dating back over 8,000 years are now in the hands of looters. A few have made their way to the infamous crooked middlemen who will transport them to Europe and North America, where wealthy collectors are waiting to purchase them. And, in an irony almost too painful to bear, Iraq is the only place in the world where there are ancient written records actually dating to the time of Ecclesiastes. "If you're interested in Biblical history," says Oxford University cuneiform expert Eleanor Robson, with some bitterness, "you will find that most of the written Biblical record comes not from Israel but from Iraq. So people are really interested in this material. Sadly, they don't see it as belonging to the Iraqi nation."

    http://www.meforum.org/article/101
    
    Extractions: No Arab people have been so traumatized by dictatorial rule, foreign adventurism, and war as the Iraqis under Saddam Husayn. To a considerable extent, the cause has been the Iraqi regime's failure to build a national identity that includes all Iraqis. It was this absence of integration that contributed directly to the rise of Saddam Husayn, who emerged from Iraq's need for a power stronger than its divisions. Saving the Iraqis from totalitarian rule and Iraq's neighbors from further depredations will therefore be no easier, but also no harder, than bringing to Iraq a policy of domestic inclusiveness. But is that possible or is Iraq doomed to repeat its wars? And if it is possible, to what extent does such inclusiveness depend on a new restructuring of the relationship between state and society?  Iraq's politics are shaped by various factors, including its naval and strategic confinement and its geographic remoteness from involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict. But by far the most central factor has been the government's failure to build a national identity that meaningfully incorporates all Iraqis. This helps explain Baghdad's inflexible position toward internal political reform and its aggressiveness abroad. Iraq has a diverse population. It is 80 percent Arab, with its non-Arabic-speaking groups comprising Kurds (a significant 15 percent of the population), Turkomans, and Assyrians. Iraq's population is 97 percent Muslim, 65 percent of which is Shi‘a. (Chibli Mallat breaks down the population somewhat differently: 55-60 percent Arab Shi‘a, 15-20 percent Arab Sunni, and 20 percent Sunni Kurds.) Prior to 1920, these three groups had no shared experience of living together within a modern state system. While all shared Ottoman rulers, the Basra province was distinct from the Baghdad province, and the province of Mosul in the north remained a disputed territory claimed for some years by Turkey. Iraq was so fractured that when the Ottoman empire collapsed, neighborhoods in the southern city of Najaf separately declared their independence and wrote separate constitutions. In Mosul, civil strife erupted between neighborhoods.

    Extractions: 14.03.1903 - 01.03.1979 The most prominent Kurdish national leader, Mustafa Barzani, was President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) when he died on 1 March 1979 at Georgetown Hospital, Washington DC. Millions of Kurds and others mourned him. His memory will remain alive in the hearts of all Kurds who support the aims he struggled for all his life. He will remain a towering figure in the history of the Kurdish people. He remains the inspiration and ideal for today's Kurdish youth who are fired by the spirit, tenacity and resilience of the legend that never wavered in his commitment to the Kurdish struggle for Peace, Freedom and Democracy What Does KDP stand for? We are the party of taking the first step and making our words concur with our deeds. We believe in the rights and freedoms of all peoples; and we work towards a brave government that minimizes interference in our daily lives, and maximizes our initiative. We believe in government that sustains and encourages its people through inspiration. Our intent is that we should live with honor, peace, safety, freedom, and democracy on our Kurdistan soil, our own soil which belongs to us. This is our national aspiration
