The disputed areas of Iraq and Article 140 of the Constitution

 9th October, 2017

In the years since the fall of the Baath regime in 2003, it has undoubtedly been one of the main axes of the conflict between the Iraqi political factions, with regard to Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution and the subject of disputed areas. The disputed areas constitute about 7% of the territory of Iraq, which lies on the borders of the four provinces of Anbar, Salah al-Din, Kirkuk and Diyala, which are adjacent to three of the provinces that form the Kurdistan Regional Government (Sulaymaniyah, Erbil and Dohuk). In the context of the negotiations on the drafting of the Iraqi constitution in 2004 and 2005, the finalization of the issue of these areas was finalized in Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution.

 

The mystery of Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution

Article 140 is actually taken from Article 58 of the Interim Iraqi Constitution. This article was included in the Iraqi Constitution of the Interim Government as Article 58, and later included in the Permanent Constitution as Article 140, during Iraqi political developments after the fall of the Baath government, and in accordance with an agreement between local political forces, including Shiites and Kurds.

Article 58 was drafted in three paragraphs of the Interim Iraqi Constitution to eliminate discrimination and persecution practiced by the Baathist regime. The first paragraph of this article states that the Transitional Government, through the Council for the Settlement of Civil Disputes, should act as soon as possible to alleviate the suffering and injustice exercised by the former party regime against the Shiites of Iraq and its Kurds.

This article also provides for the return of property, the payment of compensation, the creation of employment opportunities and the right to freedom of expression of ethnic and racial identities of citizens. The second paragraph of Article 58 refers to the return of the administrative boundaries of the Iraqi provinces to the years preceding the emergence of the Baath regime in 1968.

In the third paragraph, a final settlement of the disputed territories, including Kirkuk, will be carried out. Implementation of the second paragraph - until the above plans are completed and a clear statistical survey is carried out at the request of the residents of the governorate. Article 58 of the Interim Constitution was passed to article 140 after the drafting of the permanent Iraqi constitution.

Article 140 of the Permanent Constitution of Iraq contains two main paragraphs. The first paragraph provides that the executive branch shall take the necessary measures to terminate the implementation of Article 58 of the Interim Constitution in all its provisions. The second paragraph states that the responsibility of the executive authority in the transitional government stipulated in Article 58 of the Iraqi Transitional Administration Law extends and continues to the executive authority elected under this constitution, to be completed in full (normalization, census and ending with a referendum in Kirkuk and regions) The other disputed to determine the will of its citizens) in a maximum period of thirty-first of December of the year two thousand and seven .

Many Arab and Turkmen political leaders focus particularly on Article 140, claiming that Article 58 of Iraq's interim Iraqi constitution has been unfairly drafted. They therefore insist that this article is not implemented and call for its review. By contrast, Kurdish political leaders are particularly focused on the implementation of Article 140; Kurdish insistence on the implementation of the provisions of this article can be seen clearly in their meetings and positions.

The Kurds' insistence on the return of 80,000 displaced Kurds from Kirkuk as a precondition for participation in the first parliamentary elections in federal Iraq in 2004 can be seen. In all the meetings between Kurdistan region leaders and heads of the central government, the issue of "implementing Article 140" .

In general, Article 140 and related issues were the primary factor in the conflict between the KRG and the central government in Iraq. In addition, this article contributed to the emergence of controversial speeches and statements between the Kurdish, Arab and Turkmen nationalities on Kirkuk.

 

Different claims related to ownership of Kirkuk and disputed areas

The disputed areas start from the Sinjar heights in the far west of an area in northern Iraq, extending eastward to the southern parts of Diyala province.

More specifically, the disputed areas of Khanaqin, located on the border between Diyala province and Iran bordered by Iran, begin from Kara to Tuz Khurmatu in the province of Salah al-Din. Along this distance, these areas will include the governorate of Kirkuk. The route extends from Kirkuk to the city of Makhmour and the Nineveh Plain and ends in the western region of Sinjar. The population living in this area, according to their population density, are as follows: Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, Isidim, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Christians and Jews.

There is no doubt that the most important issue in the dispute over the disputed areas is Kirkuk. Indeed, Kirkuk is the centerpiece of the crisis, while the rest of the areas in Article 140 of the Constitution are marginal. However, each ethnic group in Kirkuk has a different view of the ownership of Kirkuk and they consider the owners of this governorate to be the same.

In general, there are diverse nationalities and ethnicities in the province of Kirkuk. The most important residential groups in Kirkuk are Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Christians and Jews. From the point of view of most Turkmen political movements, despite the existence of different ethnic groups in Kirkuk, this province is the center of Turkmen presence. For example, Sobhi Saber, a representative of the Iraqi Turkmen Front in Kirkuk (2004), says: "The Turkmen migrated from Asia before 680 BC and settled in Kirkuk."

On the other hand, the Kurds reject Turkmen statements and claim that they were residents of Kirkuk since ancient times, where they built villages and worked in their fields. From the point of view of the Kurds, the city was politically and administratively the capital of the "city of Zour", since the time of the Ottoman Empire to Kirkuk. They also claim that the Turkmen entered Kirkuk as soldiers and ancestors of the empire during the Ottoman Empire, a time when there were no borders.

In addition to the Kurds, the Arabs claim that the Turkmens settled in Kirkuk during the Ottoman Empire. The Kurds were previously in Kirkuk (but not as much as they themselves claim). Like the Kurds, the Arabs and the Turkmen, we see Assyrian and Chaldean citizens in Kirkuk. They also claim that Kirkuk and Mosul were originally belonging to Assyria in antiquity before being inhabited by others.

From their point of view, the Turkomans, the Kurds and the Arabs have all intervened and destroyed the Assyrian villages ... According to the Assyrian community, the Assyrians are the original inhabitants of Kirkuk, others have migrated to Kirkuk. In short, Kirkuk's claims of ethnic nationalism for Kirkuk make it difficult to understand the realities of the political situation in this province, as well as the limited social relations between these populations, because of the isolation of residential neighborhoods because of their silence in areas based on their national identity.

Indeed, understanding the demands and will of each of these ethnic groups can be a special fact about Kirkuk. This means that with the survival of each of these nationalities within their national, social and mental boundaries in Kirkuk, one can understand their views on the ownership of Kirkuk.

These knuckleheads fail to realize that civilizations have been being conquered for thousands of years and the first ones to live there didn't own it either. It belongs to the last ones who conquered the area and who preside over it with the biggest military. it's the golden rule: the guy with the biggest guns makes the rules. always has been always will be. the meek shall inherit Shiite.

Being a wise Azz began in grade school. Dad fought it funny, drove my Mom nuts 🥜 . No doubt the Assyrians will feel justified in demanding their own - even if it's the size of a postage stamp.

 

The Big dogs always go after the little ones-shoot & steal their country. When time comes ( a bazillion years later ) for the little dog to assert their independence-Big Dog gets torqued up, usually threatening to shoot them again to keep it. Then poop 💩 hits the fan.

Planning Iraq's population is projected to rise to 40 million this year

18:54 - 11/10/2017

 

 

 

Information / Special ...

The Ministry of Planning, on Wednesday, the high proportion of the population in Iraq to 40 million in the current year, including areas of the Kurdistan region, and indicated the readiness of the Ministry to conduct a census, attributed the delay in the past to political obstacles.

"The political interference and its effects have prevented the census, especially in the disputed areas," said spokesman Abdul-Zahra al-Hindawi.

He added that "the ministry is ready to conduct a census in the country," stressing that "the population of Iraq until 2017 will reach 40 million people, including areas of the Kurdistan region."

Iraq's population in the 1979 census was 12 million, then rose to 16.3 million in 1987, 22 million in 1997, and Iraq's population exceeded 36 million. Finished 2

Baghdad operations: We are working to bring all the displaced back to their areas and 120 families returned yesterday

 

15th October, 2017

Operations chief Major General Jalil al-Rubaie confirmed on Sunday that the operations command is working to return the displaced to their areas, noting that 120 families were returned to their areas of residence yesterday.

"We are working to bring all the displaced back to their areas, 120 families have returned yesterday and today more than 600 families will return to their areas," Rubaie told a news conference attended by al-Ghad Press. "Efforts are continuing to clear areas and return displaced people."  "We do not differentiate things that are worthless and create crises among the people of the same country," he said, recommending "returning families in cooperation with the security forces." 

 

He stressed that "you have to communicate information to the security forces against any suspicious action," pointing out that "Islam was not spread by the hands and the killing and the dignity of the neck, but peace and tolerance and good handling."  He pointed out that "before the end of this year all displaced families will return to their areas," saying that "Israel alone supported the referendum of Kurdistan."

While obscuring the beneficiaries .. hundreds of dead receive the salaries of social welfare and the vocabulary of ration

 21st October, 2017

A member of the Dhi Qar provincial council warned Ali al-Ghali of tampering with the information contained in the official documents and making any change or amendment to it, including the dead and the secrecy of them without the news of the concerned ministries, and returned them in violation of the law.

Al-Ghalbi pointed out that the Ministry of Commerce and the General Retirement Authority have given their time to report on their deaths in order to obtain a food ration or pension funds. This is an opportunity for the citizen to reveal imaginary persons from his family to remove them from the database before they are held accountable. The discovery of the ration card includes the names of delusional and deceased because of the lack of updating the database by the Ministry of Health or negligence in not reporting from the deceased, a dilemma that will delay the work of the ministries because of cases of forgery in the official papers.

"Our reliance on the reports of the Ministry of Finance indicates an abnormal increase in Iraq amounting to 5%, which is not found in any country in the world. This indicates that part of the corruption exists in the card because of the non-mention of the deaths and the registration of families that migrated Iraq without registration Or notification.
