A rare document from the Iraqi archives dating back to 1934 revealed a proposal to choose the city of Deir ez-Zor as the capital of an independent Kurdish government led by Emir Jaladat Badrakhan.
Dr. Ali Saleh Al-Mirani explained that this document is “an important source for understanding the approaches of the colonial powers to the Kurdish issue,” noting that “British interest in Iraq was linked, in the first place, to strategic and security considerations related to the situation in Iraq and the borders of the province of Mosul.”
