KDC | Welcome The situation in Kurdistan, a region of northern Iraq where about 4 million Kurds live, is so detached from the rest of the country that the Iraqi flag is not even visible here. Kurdistan describes itself on the Internet as "the other Iraq," and Kurds take pains to point out that they are not Arabs. Kurdistan's borders are guarded by the fierce peshmerga, literally "those who face death," a band of warriors that emerged in the 1920s during Kurdistan's struggle for independence. www.kurdistancorporation.com /aboutKurdistan_economic_progress.htm   (1780 words)

News This was in response to Barzani's ban on the flag's use in the Kurdish region, where many see the red, white and fl national banner as a symbol of Arab nationalism and of ousted president Saddam Hussein's hated Sunni Arab-dominated regime. In April 2004 the then interim government of Iraq attempted to resolve the controversy over the flag, which is emblazoned with three green stars and the legend "God is greatest", by proposing a new national banner. Kurdistan's banner is three red, white and green horizontal bars emblazoned with a golden sun motif. www.puk.org /web/htm/news/nws/news060904.html   (716 words)

The Other Iraqi Kurdistan Flag issues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) While the words "Allah Akbar" are in the center of the Iraqi flag, they are repeated along the borders of the central white stripe on the flag of Iran. Moreover, the cultural and religious significance of replacing a flag declaring "Allah Akbar" with the flag of the Kuridstan Regional Government, while far less obvious, is equally important. As a result, the decision not to fly the flag of Iraq, but instead to fly only the flag of the Kurdistan Regional Government is much more than a statement of national independence. www.kurdmedia.com /news.asp?id=13302   (587 words)

PM orders hoisting of national flag across Iraq Massud Barzani, president of the Kurdish region in northern Iraq, last week banned the Iraqi flag from being hoisted on government offices in the region, leaving the Kurdish colours to fly alone and raising separatist tensions. Most Arab Iraqis accept the 1963 design as their national flag, although the design of the Islamic slogan -- which was reportedly based on Saddam's own handwriting -- has been changed to a generic typeface. Some Kurdish official bodies fly Iraq's 1958-1963 flag, which was that of Abdul Karim Qassim's republic after he overthrew the monarchy, rather than the later Iraqi symbol with its Baathist pan-Arab associations. www.turkishpress.com /news.asp?ID=140411   (693 words)

Kurdish Parliament in exile   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) A huge vertical flag is displayed in the main room where the Parliament meets in official sessions. At first glance this might promise to be THE flag of Kurdistan; the Parliament is dominated by the PKK (which is trying to shed its terrorist image), and the PDK and PUK refuse to have anything to do with it. I did see the flag quoted by Dov frequently in the shape of hats, pullovers and the like (scarcely as proper flags though). www.hampshireflag.co.uk /world-flags/allflags/krd-kp.html   (357 words)

Peace with security in Kurdistan In those provinces administered by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), it is very difficult to find anyone flying an Iraqi flag, while Kurdistan flags are commonplace, as are those of the dominant party. Checkpoints remain throughout the KRG region, and they are manned exclusively by Kurdish armed forces wearing modern military uniform with the flag of Kurdistan sewn onto their shoulder. One major reason for the KRG success in their war against terror is the dedication and support of the masses who support the Kurdish armed forces, the sons of Kurdistan, in their battle to keep Kurdistan safe and prosperous. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1304908/posts   (1270 words)

USATODAY.com - U.S.-picked Iraq leaders approve new flag   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) U.S. administrators previously tried to alter the Saddam-era flag by dropping the words "Allahu akbar" — "God is great" — but Iraqis refused to abide by the change. It was the color of the Sharif Hussein, who led the Arab revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule in the early 1900s, and he added it to a flag of green, white and fl stripes to create a symbol of pan-Arabism. Hussein's banner was the basis for the Jordanian, Palestinian and Syrian flags — as well as the old Iraqi one. www.usatoday.com /news/world/iraq/2004-04-26-iraq-flag_x.htm   (765 words)

Status of the Iraqi Flag The proposed new flag, approved by the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, sank in public esteem faster than a stone in the Tigris river after a firestorm of criticism that the new banner ignored the country's Islamic and Arab character - and looked too much like the Israeli flag. A bank of the Saddam-era flags, one for each of Iraq's 18 provinces, served as the backdrop in a conference room where ministers of the new government took the oath of office Monday. The current Iraqi flag is essentially the same as one adopted in 1921 after the establishment of the modern Iraqi state. www.gettysburgflag.com /New_Iraq_Flag.php   (354 words)

New Iraqi flag - SourceWatch In its place, the new flag design is "white with two blue stripes, and although it has a crescent representing Islam, the flag no longer bears the words 'God is great.'" The new flag was "designed by an Iraqi artist and approved by" the Iraqi Governing Council. One of the biggest complaints among Iraqis is that this flag not only does not bear any resemblance to the flags of their fellow Arab states, it bears quite a resemblance to the flag of another country in the region. www.sourcewatch.org /index.php?title=New_Iraqi_flag   (806 words)

Take down that flag! (Kurds - Baathist flag)   (Site not responding.

Leaders of the two ruling parties in Iraqi Kurdistan, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, refused numerous requests for interviews for this story.
