Redalyc. on the Genus Sternbergia (Amaryllidaceae) in Iraq

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid ISSN: 0211-1322 [email protected] Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas España Youssef, Sami; Mahmood, Ahmed; Vela, Errol On the genus Sternbergia (Amaryllidaceae) in Iraq Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, vol. 74, núm. 1, 2017, pp. 1-6 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas Madrid, España Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=55651825007 Abstract Sternbergia is a genus containing mostly remarkable autum flowering taxa within Amaryllidaceae. Its distribution ranges from the Mediterranean region through the Irano-Anatolian region to Caucasus and Central Asia. In Flora of Iraq, the information about the occurrence, habitat, and distribution of its species is outdated or incomplete. The main aim of this study has been to contribute with new data from the field in order to update its status in the Kurdistan Region. Botanical field surveys were mostly carried out between 2013 and 2015 in autumn and spring. The main result of this study has been the occurrence of 3 species of Sternbergia: S. colchiciflora, which is reported in this study for the first time for the Kurdistan Region and therefore for Iraq; S. clusiana, which has been rediscovered in Iraq; and S. vernalis, which has been found again in the Berwarya Mountains, after being considered a lost species in Iraq over the last 80 years. These 3 observed species occur in the mountains of Amadiya District, making this area the richest territory for Sternbergia in the country. Due to certain factors that currently threaten their natural habitats, they are rare species and could be regarded as potentially endangered at regional level according to the IUCN criteria. Keywords Flora of Iraq, Irano-Anatolian, Kurdistan Region, new record, S. clusiana, S. colchiciflora, S. vernalis.

This Summer seasons of year 2014. Some Iraqi herbarial family involves 350 species throughout the world; these specimens were used; these specimens were identified are distributed on 11 genera (Heukles, 2000). Iraq through the help of some keys, especially the Flora of involves 24 species distributed on 4 genera (Al-Rawi, Turkey. The specimens were made herbarially to become 1964). In Europe, the family is called Teasel (Heukles, formal specimens, and putted in herbarium of the 2000), and the genus Dipsacus L., from the same family, Education College (ESUH). The geographical distribution is also called Teasel (Knopf, 2000). Komarov (1957) of the species was cleared with fixation of some mentioned 23 species of the genus Cephalaria in the ecological notes, and a map (plate 4) was putted.

Kurdish Oppression Against Assyrians
Oppression, Assassination, Torture, Harassment, Unfair, and Undemocratic Acts by Kurds and Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Against the Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Suryan) in North of Iraq. Compiled by Fred Aprim (ZINDA) After the 1991 uprising, Assyrians had good working relations with the various political groups in North Iraq. All the same, elections in the spring of 1992 would be a harbinger of problems to come - ultra-nationalists among some Kurdish parties tried and succeeded in exerting their influence over any Assyrian involvement in North Iraqi politics by creating a puppet "Christian Kurdish" party linked to the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), the so-called United Kurdistan Christians (UKC). (http://www.zindamagazine.com/html/archives/2002/6.3.02/index.php#ZindaSays) (ATOUR) In 1992 some intellectual Assyrians published a communiqué, in it they warned against the continuous process of the Kurdification of the Iraqi people in north of Iraq. Then the ethnic and linguistic map of northern Iraq was not as it is today; some ten years after the no-fly zone has been established. For its importance, here is a passage from that communiqué: “The Kurdish leadership, and in a well-planned program, had begun to settle Kurds and in large numbers around Assyrian regions like Sarsank, Barwari Bala and others. This Kurdish housing project was naturally to change the demographic, economic, and civic structure of the Christian regions in only few short years; a process that forced the Christian to emigrate as the vacant homes were overtaken by the Kurds.” (http://www.atour.com/news/assyria/20030617a.html) (ATOUR) Francis Yusuf Shabo: born 1951 in Mangesh (Duhok Province), married with four children.

Keywords: Phytogeography, Orobanchaceae, Kurdistan region-Iraq. 1. Introduction Orobanchaceae (Broomrape family) widely distributed in warm and temperate area, about 90% of their species are old world natives and only about 10% of the species occur in the cold or hot regions (Thieret, 1971). It is obviously known that the plant spreading influenced by geographical and environmental conditions therefore the Orobanchaceae species show a high variation in their distribution in different environmental conditions. Ecological and geographical distribution of plants are clearly much relevance to plant taxonomy because each species or groups of plants are with a certain pattern of distribution which is one aspect of its definition.

Inversion and Folding of the Southern Un-Elevated
Iraqi Geological Journal Tobia et al. Vol.50, No.2, 2017 MINERALOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN THE SHALES OF BEDUH AND BALUTI FORMATIONS IN THE NORTHERN THRUST ZONE, KURDISTAN REGION, IRAQ: IMPLICATION FOR PROVENANCE AND TECTONIC SETTING Faraj H. Tobia*, Baran H. Mustafa, Sirwa S. Shangola and Mario U. Kasha *Department of Geology, College of Science, University of Salahaddin, Erbil, Iraq *Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] Received: 23 May 2017; accepted: 10 August 2017 ABSTRACT The mineralogical and geochemical data are employed to determine the provenance, paleoweathering, and depositional setting of the shales from the Beduh (L. Triassic) and Baluti (U. Triassic) formations at Sararu area N of Iraq. The mineralogical data (e.g., high illite content and moderate illite crystallinity index in Beduh shale and kaolinite in Baluti shale) and geochemical parameters of the shales (major, trace, and REE-based discrimination diagrams, Al2O3/TiO2, and LREE/HREE ratios) indicate that both shales were evolved from acidic source rocks. This is reclined by the enrichment of LREEs, depletion of HREEs, and negative Eu anomaly. The paleoweathering parameters (chemical index of alteration and chemical index of weathering), in addition to the A-CN-K (Al2O3-CaO+Na2O-K2O) diagram of the Beduh shale induce that the source terrain was moderately to intensively and for Baluti shale was intensively chemically weathered. The Beduh shale was plot perpendicular to the A-K line indicates the K-metasomatism, and for Baluti shale was fall parallel to the A-K line suggesting intense weathering with no evidence for K-metasomatism. The discriminant diagrams based on major elements in addition to critical trace and REE parameters suggest that the origin of the sediments was probably from passive (Arabian Shield and the Rutba Uplift) tectonic environments for both with the effect of the active (volcanic activity) tectonism on the Beduh shale.

Britain, Iraq and the Assyrians: the Nine Demands by Stavros T
http://www.aina.org/articles/biata.htm News Releases Articles Editorials Reports Books Maps Forums Letters Search Permissions Services Links Contact Britain, Iraq and the Assyrians: The Nine Demands By Stavros T. Stavridis When Britain 's mandate of Iraq was to end in November 1932, the Assyrians were concerned about their minority status in the future independent Iraqi State. The Assyrians were hoping that Britain would support the establishment of an enclave for them in the north that would give them autonomy in their internal affairs. Britain 's response was largely unsympathetic to Assyrian aspirations. (A) Assyrian Intentions On June 1, 1932 the Assyrian levies presented a signed memorial to their Commanding Officer stating that "all the men had decided to cease serving as from 1 st July." The reason was Britain had "failed adequately to ensure the future of Assyrian nation after the termination of their mandate over Iraq." It should be noted the Assyrian Patriarch Mar Shimun and his bishops were preparing "to concentrate the whole Assyrian nation in the Dohuk-Amadiya area at the beginning of July, and that the levies on leaving their intended to join this concentration." The British believed that the Assyrians were "to try to coerce (the British) and Iraqi Government[s] into creating and recognising an autonomous enclave for the Assyrians in Iraq , or alternatively, to establish such an enclave by a coup de main." Britain was concerned that such political action could undermine the unitary nature of the future Iraqi State. It could also have inspired the Kurds to demand their own autonomous region in the North.
