    E U R O P E ALBANIA From 27 May to 22 June, UNHCR organised an exhibition of paintings titled "Colours of Albania in the World" at the Albanian Gallery of Arts. The exhibition brought home 23 Albanian artists living and working abroad. Some are refugees from the previous regime, others are migrants, but all have been living abroad for many years. The artwork reflects their nostalgia for their home country, and artists Ibrahim Kodra and Omer Kaleshi have been called symbols of Albanian culture. The exhibition focused on respect for migrants and refugees, as well as on the positive contributions they can make to host societies. About 600 persons attended the launching ceremony. Media coverage was excellent, including 30 articles and 18 TV and radio mentions during the month of the exhibition. About USD 20,000 were raised through local fundraising efforts to cover the expenses of the event. The exhibition was organised in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the National Gallery of Arts, under the auspices of the Albanian Prime Minister. ARMENIA UNHCR participated in the morning TV programme on Armenian national TV. During the programme, a UNHCR official answered questions related to housing projects and the local integration of refugees. In addition, some Armenian TV stations broadcast the World Refugee Day TV spot for 15 days. An exhibition-sale of refugees' art work was also organised to show that the most appropriate durable solution for ethnic Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan is local integration in Armenia. The exhibition was appreciated; some of the refugees were asked to make some crafts for souvenir shops.

  • Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants
    PRESS RELEASE Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – May 29, 2016 Art Jameel and The Crossway Foundation are pleased to announce an exciting conclusion to Jameel Journey to Turkey, the latest in a series of collaborative initiatives to give young artists with ties to the Gulf region the opportunity to work and travel across international borders. An exhibition of work by the six young photographers from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain who set out on an eleven-day trip around Turkey from May 12 to 23, is now on display at Ka Atolyesi in Ankara, where the participants have also produced a publication on the subject of this year’s theme, migration. The six participants are the previous winners of Art Jameel Photography Award. Imogen Ware, Managing Director of the Crossway Foundation, which organised Jameel Journey to Turkey, said: “It was an enriching experience for all parties involved. Thinking about photography and Turkey within the framework of migration inspired conversations on many subjects, ranging from the photographer's responsibility in the political and social context of 2016 to the commonalities between the Gulf region and Turkey as crossroads of different cultures.” During their time in Turkey the photographers received a private lecture and portfolio review from conceptual artist and photographer Orhan Cem Çetin, visited the studio of artist- photographer Ali Taptık, heard talks from prominent photographers, artists and curators such as Bikem Ekberzade, Özge Ersoy, Zeynep Beler, Beril Gür, and Sevim Sancaktar at cultural institutions including Istanbul Modern and Collector Space, and explored and photographed Istanbul’s picturesque Princes’ Islands with members of Geniş Açı Project Office (GAPO) and NAR Photos.

  • IRAQ Iraq, with a Population of Approximately 29 Million, Is A
    IRAQ Iraq, with a population of approximately 29 million, is a republic with a freely elected government led by Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki. On December 22, the new government was sworn in after the parliament, the Council of Representatives (COR), approved a power-sharing agreement reached by all of the country's major political blocs on November 11, approximately nine months after the March 7 elections. Despite the controversy surrounding the January 15 decision by Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) to ban approximately 500 candidates for alleged ties to the banned Ba'ath Party, and violence before and on election day, the COR elections met internationally recognized standards for free and fair elections, and the results of these legislative elections reflected the general will of the voters. Iraqi security forces (ISF) reported to civilian authorities, but continuing violence, corruption, and organizational dysfunction undermined the government's ability to protect human rights. During the year the following significant human rights problems were reported: arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life; extremist and terrorist bombings and executions; disappearances; torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; poor conditions in pretrial detention and prison facilities; arbitrary arrest and detention; impunity; denial of fair public trials; delays in resolving property restitution claims; insufficient judicial institutional capacity; arbitrary interference with privacy and home; limits

Mohammad Sherzad T. Mohammed Department of Geology Department of Geology College of Science College of Science University of Sulaimani University of Sulaimani (Received 18/2/2018 , Accepted 3/10/2018) ABSTRACT A part of the Govanda Formation is studied in five outcrops from northeastern Iraq near the Iraqi-Iranian borders. It consists of polygenic conglomerates, detrital limestones (conglomeratic limestone), and highly fossiliferous limestones of reef- fore-reef facies with occasional interbedding of terrigenous sediments. Tectonically, the formation is important for its location in the very active Sanandij-Sirjan (Suture) Zone and for its deposition in Middle Miocene, which was assigned previously as an age of continental-continental colliding of Zagros Fold-Thrust belt. Additionally, it is overlaying different rocks units of pre-Miocene, especially resting on the Qulqula Radiolarian Formation in an angular unconformity relationship. The high-energy and tectonically active shallow and normal- marine environment is inferred from many facies such as coral framestone, pelecypod floatstone facies, coral and lithoclast rudstone, coral bufflestone, stromatolite bindstone, foraminifera and red algal bioclastic packstone–wackstone, reworked foraminiferal-lithoclast grainstone- 69 70 Kamal H.

The new and previously exhibited artworks on display will explore the theme of “Homeland” (Anavatan, Heimat, Patria), chosen by a curatorial team of Beral Madra, Deniz Erbaş and Seyhan Boztepe. The Turkish city of Çanakkale is located on the Dardanelles Strait, just north of the epicentre of the European refugee crisis in the Aegean Sea, and the curators have chosen to focus on a crucial concept behind the constant succession of global migrations and flows of refugees and exiles: the imagery and visions of the idea of homeland, which are bound to 20th-century nationalism and its after-effects. Discussing the theme of this year’s Biennial, curator Beral Madra said: “The 5th International Çanakkale Biennial will be a perfect opportunity for us to face and challenge global human movement with the universal language of contemporary art and thus have a civil commitment and positioning towards the ongoing tragedy. The Biennial will try to raise questions about the sustainability of ideas of national and ethnic identity in a world whose borders are becoming increasingly accidental and penetrable.
