The Algiers Accord 1975


Hoshiyar Zeibari the ex-terrorist and present Iraqi foreign minister, has questioned the "Algiers Accord of 1975" the very Accord for which 230 000 Iranians died, over half a million others injured, just to preserve and uphold it. As a reminder,"Saddam Hussein tore the Accord up in TV declared war on Iran in 1980, 5 years after signing it and after 8 years of war and bloodshed, accepted and recognized it again". Today, suddenly comes a sleazy "wannabe" politician, intoxicated by the US presence in Iraq, thus considering himself to be untouchable, that we have to renegotiate the Algiers Accord. Zeibari is also responsible for the raid on the Iranian consulate in Kurdistan/Iraq, he personally asked the US forces to arrest the 5 Iranian Diplomats that have been in US prison in the so called Green Zone of Baghdad for the last 2 years, the very people he had invited.

His recently acquired anti Iranian approach/attitude, comes from the fact that Iran has begun building a massive wall,(100 km long and 20m. high to start with..) along the demarcation line of the Algiers Accord, in the Turkish/Iraq/Iran border line and thus forcing the Kurdish aspirations of statehood to limiting itself on the Iraqi side. Irans, rejection of supporting and recognizing an eventual state called "Kurdistan" should it one day emerge, was also a reason to betray Iranian diplomats to the US forces. What this self oriented Amateur for a politician never seems to consider, is the fact that Iran has international obligations when it comes to countries and borders, and Iranians are no Arabs to suddenly tear accords up, just because they are in a position to do so.

Had we been living in some Hollywood movie a la "Godfather" Hoshiyar Zeibari would have been the best candidate to get "whacked" by the family for his impertinence.

Nevertheless, I copy the four relevant points of the Algiers Accord of 1975 for all to remember.

1- Carry out a final delineation of their land boundaries in accordance with the Constantinople Protocol of 1913 and the Proceedings of the Border Delimitation Commission of 1914.
2- Demarcate their river boundaries according to the thalweg line.
3- Accordingly, the two parties shall restore security and mutual confidence along their joint borders. They shall also commit themselves to carry out a strict and effective observation of their joint borders so as to put an end to all infiltrations of a subversive nature wherever they may come from.
 4- The two parties have also agreed to consider the aforesaid arrangements as inseparable elements of a comprehensive solution. Consequently, any infringement of one of its components shall naturally contradict the spirit of the Algiers Accord.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
