 The IRAQI OPPOSITION’S EVOLUTION: FROM CONFLICT to Unity?
This Turkish attitude became discernibly ambivalent in the late 1980s as the PKK intensified its anti-Turkish operations at a time when Turkey had become the destination of many Kurdish refugees.
To keep a watchful eye on the refugees and prevent them from fraternizing with Turkish-Kurds, Turkey housed the refugees in military barracks mainly in Mardin, Diyar Bakr and Mosh.(21) Kurds complained about the dismal and harsh conditions.
In the meantime, the PUK signed an agreement with the PKK in May 1988, which the KDP denounced as detrimental to the unity of the IKF.(22) Turkey, for its part, went on to sign two separate agreements, one with the Iraqi government and the other with the KDP.

Given the importance of water-raising devices to the economy of many Islamic societies, it is hardly surprising that attempts were made to introduce new designs or modify existing ones.
Some of the most interesting innovations are found in one section of Ibn al-Razzaz al-Jazari's great book, The book of knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices, which was completed in Diyar Bakr in Upper Mesopotamia in 1206 AD.
From our point of view, the most significant aspect of these machines is the ideas and components that they embody.
