	Bagdad, Turkey (Vilayet) - LoveToKnow 1911
		Wherever there is any pretence at irrigation, along the banks of the two great rivers and by the few canals which are still in existence, the yield is enormous, and the shores of the Tigris and Euphrates in the neighbourhood of Bagdad and Hilla seem to be one great palm garden.
		On the other hand, they withdrew large tracts of fertile and productive land from taxation (one-half of the cultivated land of the vilayet was said to be administered for the sultan's privy purse), and thus greatly reduced the revenue of the vilayet.
		Of crops the vilayet produces wheat (which is indigenous), rice, barley (which takes the place of oats as food for horses), durra (a coarse, maize-like grain), sesame, cotton and tobacco; of fruits, the date, orange, lemon, fig, banana and pomegranate.

		This map was composed on the basis of those attached to the Report of the League of Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Mosul Vilayet of 16 July 1925 (15 MB); it is reproduced from: P.E.J.Bomli, "L'Affaire de Mossoul", H.J. Paris, Amsterdam 1929.

	The Vilayet of Van - A Passage From History - Armenia Diaspora Conference Official Site
		Van was the capital of the vilayet and of the sanjak of that name; Cholemerik was the capital of Hakkari.
		This majority was lost in the vilayet, however—and deliberately so—by the merging of Van with Hakkari, whose population was overwhelmingly Kurdish mixed with minorities of Yezidis and Aisoris of the Nestorian faith, a small number of whom, under the name Chaldeans, had become Roman Catholics.
		According to McCarthy’s estimates for 1911-1912, the birthrate for the vilayet was 49 per thousand per year; the deathrate 35 per thousand per year; the net gain being 14 per thousand per year, about average for Anatolia.

		And it shall develop the capacity to defend the territory of the Mosul Vilayet independently of third parties, so as to reliably carry as soon as possible the responsibilities which are associated with the status of permanent armed neutrality.
		In the case of the Mosul Vilayet's Yezidi and the Muslim, Christian and Jewish Arabs, Armenians, Assyrians, Kurds, Turkomans and others, this would entail in time the eventual, freely-decided re-attachment of their ancestors' territory to either Iraq or Turkey, its attachment to Syria or Iran, or its eventual independence.
		At the request of the leadership of the Mosul Vilayet Council (MVC), this Declaration, those previously adopted and the Statute of the Mosul Vilayet Council were developed in consultation with representatives of Allied governments by the CORUM Research Group.

		In Syria, France was to get the Vilayet of Aleppo and the northern parts of the Vilayets of Beirut and Damascus, leaving the southern parts of these two vilayets essentially to Britain, with the understanding that the Holy Land of Palestine would have an international status.
		In Mount Lebanon and the adjacent parts of the old Vilayet of Beirut, the Maronites - a Christian communion with a long tradition of union with the Roman Catholic church in Europe - were one party whose demands the French were prepared to listen to.
		In Palestine, which was assembled from what was formerly the Sanjak of Jerusalem and the southern parts of the Vilayet of Beirut, the British had deliberately attempted to recreate the Biblical Land of Israel, 'from Dan to Beersheba', where the Jews were to have their national homeland.

		Based thereon, the Mosul Vilayet Council has been set up, representing all ethnic groups and religious communities; as such it now seeks to obtain first of all a prompt lifting of the UN embargo with regard to the liberated part of the Mosul Vilayet.
		To these effects, consideration should be given to the establishment of a comprehensive, reliable and promptly accessible inventory of these rights, and provisions should be made for the appropriate national and international bodies to hear related claims.
		The case of the indigenous populations of the Mosul Vilayet demonstrates the need that an effective channel to and through the UN Security Council should be made available for cases involving governmental disregard for related rights and obligations.

	Ottoman Provincial Boundaries, Shiite Federalism, and Energy Conflict in Iraq
		These geographical–political patterns were perpetuated during the first centuries of Ottoman rule after their conquest of the region in 1534, when the principal dynamic in the affairs of the Basra vilayet was the struggle between the established urban centre of Basra and tribal forces in the Jaza’ir and Muntafiq tribal regions to the immediate north.
		The reason why the Basra vilayet boundary is again becoming relevant is quite simple: despite the long-standing unitary state tradition in Iraq, after 2003 the people living in what was the old Ottoman vilayet of Basra have shown an increasing interest in the geology of their patria.
		But to focus exclusively on the old vilayet boundary between Basra and Baghdad and today’s struggle between two different variants of Shiite federalism would be to overlook other significant trends in Iraqi and indeed Shiite history.
