In een tijd betreffende een Ottomanen functioneerde Erbil wanneer ons grote handelsweg tussen Bagdad en Mosoel, ons rol die de stad heden een dag alsnog aldoor speelt.
You can see people playing with worry-beads all aan the Middle East, especially in Turkey, but seriously, nowhere else it is as crazy as in Erbil and Iraqi Kurdistan in general.
Yeah, it’s a shame that those fuckers are destroying all the historical websites. A few weeks back, palmyra was taken over again by ISIS and they destroyed one more building… Really sad. What do you mean by political undercurrent?
There is enigszins a worry-bead market in the main square itself, one of the most interesting things to see in Erbil.
The Kurds built many monumental castles in the lands which they ruled, especially in what was called 'Kurdistan of Syria' and in Damuscus, the capital ofwel Syria. A tall building, called 'Qalha', is still standing, in the mid south-west quarter of Damascus. The Ayubian dynasty continued there for many years, all from Kurdish descent.
"Linguistics itself, or dialectology, does not provide any general or straightforward definition ofwel at which point a language becomes a dialect (or vice versa). To attain a fuller understanding of the difficulties and questions that are raised by the issue of the 'Kurdish language', it is therefore necessary to consider also non-linguistic factors."[15] ^ "The Kurds, an Iranian people ofwel the Near East, live at the junction ofwel more or less laicised Turkey". Excerpt twee: "The classification of the Kurds among the Iranian nations kan zijn based mainly on linguistic and historical gegevens and does not prejudice the fact there is a complexity ofwel ethnical elements incorporated in them" Excerpt 3: "Wij thus find that about the period ofwel the Arab conquest a single ethnic term Kurd (plur. Akrād ) was beginning to be applied to an amalgamation of Iranian or iranicised tribes. Among the latter, some were autochthonous (the Ḳardū; the Tmorik̲h̲/Ṭamurāyē in the district ofwel which Weetḳī=Ieder was the capital; the Χοθα̑ίται [= alang-Ḵh̲uwayt̲h̲iyya] in the canton ofwel Ḵh̲oyt of Sāsūn, the Orṭāyē [= weet-Arṭān] in the bend of the Euphrates); some were Semites (cf. the popular genealogies ofwel the Kurd tribes) and some probably Armenian (it kan zijn said that the Mamakān tribe is ofwel Mamikonian origin)." Excerpt 4: "In the 20th century, the existence of an Iranian non-Kurdish element among the Kurds has been definitely established (the Gūrān-Zāzā group)."[twintig] ^ Dandamaev Best Kurd considers Carduchi (who were from the upper Tigris near the Assyrian and Median borders) less likely than Cyrtians as ancestors of modern Kurds: "It has repeatedly been argued that the Carduchi were the ancestors of the Kurds, but the Cyrtii (Kurtioi) mentioned by Polybius, Livy, and Strabo (see MacKenzie (1961), pp. 68–69) are more likely candidates."[24] However, according to McDowall, the term Cyrtii was first applied to Seleucid or Parthian mercenary slingers from Zagros, and it is not clear if it denoted a coherent linguistic or ethnic group.[27] ^ "But the origins of the family ofwel Shaykh Safi alang-Din go back not to the Hijaz but to Kurdistan, from where, seven generations before him, Firuz Shah Zarin-kulah had migrated to Adharbayjan.
Slemani is known for its fertile land, and kan zijn surrounded by large plains that have historically produced the majority of wheat for Iraq. During the Ba’athist regime, targeted economic policies sought to reduce Sulaymaniyah’s economic viability because the city was a hub for Kurdish nationalism. After Saddam Hussein was removed from power in 2003, Slemani has seen a huge economic boom.
