Kurdistan - next Dubai ?
Iraqi Kurdistan or Kurdistan Region (Kurdish: Herêmî Kurdistanî, Arabic: إقليم كردستان ) is an autonomous Region since 1991 (de facto state) in Iraq.It borders Iran to the east, Turkey to the north, Syria to the west and the rest of Iraq to the south. Its capital is the city of Arbil , known in Kurdish as Hewlêr. The Region is officially governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government KRG.
Following the 1991 uprising of the Iraqi people against Saddam Hussein in Gulf war , many Kurds were forced to flee the country to become refugees in bordering regions of Iran and Turkey. A northern no-fly zone was established following the First Gulf War in 1991 to facilitate the return of Kurdish refugees. As Kurds continued to fight government troops, Iraqi forces finally left Kurdistan in October 1991, leaving the region to function de facto independently; however, Iraqi Kurdistan continues to view itself as an integral part of a united Iraq but one in which it administers its own affairs. The three governorates of Duhok, Erbil (Hawler) and Sulaimani comprise around 40,000 square kilometres and have a population of around 5 million.Disputes remain between the central Iraqi government and the Kurdish government about predominantly Kurdish territories outside the current borders of Iraqi Kurdistan. there are also issues of Kurdish disputed "sliced off" areas that was done by Saddam between Erbil and Baghdad weather they are to annex back to KRG or stay as they are.

Underground resources KRG-controlled parts of Iraqi Kurdistan are estimated to contain around 45 billion barrels (7.2×10^9 m3) of oil, making it the sixth largest reserve in the world and 200.83 Trillion Cubic Meters of Gas. Extraction of these reserves began in 2007. As of July 2007, the Kurdish government solicited foreign companies to invest in 40 new oil sites, with the hope of increasing regional oil production over the following 5 years by a factor of five, to about 1 million barrels per day (160,000 m3/d).Gas and associated gas reserves are in excess of 200 TCF. Other underground resources that exist in significant quantities in the region include coal, copper, gold, iron, limestone (which is used to produce cement), marble, and zinc. The world's largest deposit of rock sulfur is located just southwest of Erbil (Hewlêr). Not a single American soldier been killed in Kurdistan since the 2003 invasion of Iraq as Saddam wasn't even in our region since 1991 . the Kurdish forces severely control the borders with surrounding countries and prevent trespassing of terrorist into the region even from the rest of iraq. the US army are also providing the Kurdish army (peshmerga) with advanced weapons and trainings ************************************************************************************************************************* Leaders Jalal Talabani and Masood Barzani http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...talabani5.jpg/http://www.saradistribution.com/foto2/barzbush.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3944/...anipreside.jpg Flag of the Kurdistan Region http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4341/34648812.jpg Parliament http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9...422e3004bb.jpg Oil Fields contracted sites http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/7...ndgasactiv.jpg Erbil international airport Its runway is the longest in the Middle East and the fifth on the world level, after China, Russia, South Africa and the U.S. respectively.

This is a 400-bed teaching hospital that presents a double challenge. From the point of view of the project is to gather all the bioclimatic conditions necessary to reduce their energy consumption to the minimum rates, so for exemple, the emergency power supply must be ensured even with renewable sources throughout the year , an issue that is a challenge because of the area where is placed the project, which is well known for having a temperature range of about 65 degrees between winter and summer. the project must be completed in 20 months, with a foreword maximum period extended to 25 months. In this sense, we are assessing the performance of the building with techniques of pre-industrialization, to cut costs in terms of implementation as well as tools and machines hire, an issue not fully available. The application for the construction of this hospital is the result of negotiations launched in October following the journey of exploration carried out by José Moragues to Kurdistan, and will be developed jointly by Singular Studio and the prestigious firm of architects IAAA Architects. http://www.singularstudio.es/blog/wp...2/Hospital.jpg 5-star Hilton Hotel and Business Center Plot Area 79.000 m2, Total Construction Area 113.918 m2 , Number of Rooms 168, Duration of Construction 36 Mount Start Date 01/02/2010 Delivery Date 01/02/2013 http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1328/erbilis2.jpg http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/526/erbilis2.jpg/ http://www.nursoy.chesscreativetest...._eng/detail/66 http://www.ekurd.net/mismas/articles.../invest729.htm Khanzad Hotel http://a2.l3-images.myspacecdn.com/i...013cdf48/l.jpg http://www.khanzadresort.com/index-4.html Asuda hotel 5 star - U/C https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...62645118_n.jpg http://www.panoramio.com/ Kurdistan international bank Built area: 8,100 m² Construction time: Finished Designers: Dalamn Architects Project cost: US $ 6,000,000 http://www.m5zn.com/uploads/2010/3/2...n6y704yivd.jpg http://hewa.com/index.php?option=com...g=en&Itemid=69 Emerald bank Main Branch - Erbil Salahadinn Street - Erbil Opposite to Sheikh Cholee Mosque Sheikh Cholee Street http://joeingea.com/images/projects/...ters/53_01.jpg http://www.emeraldbank.net/locations.html http://www.sardararchitects.com/ Twin tower hotels In order to realize a project as unique and matchless as Erbil, we have designed a new 40,000 sqm building complex consisting of two skyscrapers housing a five-star hotel, residence and business center, which, when completed, will be Erbil’s most prestigious achievement.

Just another US oil colony...
How many of the average kurd can afford shopping in the mall ... ? But hey, its new, its shiny.... so everything will be fine! :notacrook: |

Kurdistan was under the economic sanction right until 2003 , even tho its had total autonomy from iraq since 1991 but it was still part of iraq and suffering as much . so it takes time for all kurds to be wealthy in the country but right now about 60% of kurds living a wealthy life as per a survey conveyed by the KRG. and in few years when the oil pumps more barrels everyone will have an income from it and all kurds will be very wealthy |
wow, thanks for the post!
Welcome to the New World Order I suppose. |

kurdistan will be better alot cos besides proven oil reserve of 45 billion barrels , 2.83 Trillion Cubic Meters of Gas ,The world's largest deposit of rock sulfur, coal, copper, gold, iron, limestone (which is used to produce cement), marble, and zinc are in the autonomous region. The KRG have mountainous landscapes and agriculture. |
Dubai developed like HK;)

very nice developments for Kurdistan this but i have to say that they will have a very hard time if they want to catch up with Uae and the other Arab oil States and unfortunately Kurdistan dont have beaches by the sea. And the possibility for a port to rival Jebel ali in Dubai is non existent.
But yet still it is very good to see another country of the middle east rise out of poverty and war. And it might also still become a place with alot of commerce and Banking and the prospects of mining out minerals and metals is very good and Australia made alot of money from that. and many tourists may want to visit this more mountainous region instead of just sea and desert so the prospects for tourism may be good too. And they always could build some wacko structures to attract more people. And if they choose to take a rather unorthodox move they could go for legalizing gambling and become the first real las Vegas of the middle east. Egypt has some already but if Kurdistan invest alot they could easily outmatch it. |
yeah like i said we are on the way and the our president promised to be better than Dubai. like i said we just don't have oil we got other ways of making the economy stronger like tourism sites, agriculture and so on .
remember these developments only started since 2007 when the kurdish government offered investors a 10 year land tax free , so give it another 10 years it will be competing with Gulf states Sherwan Palace Hotel Floor Area : 19000 sq.m Landscaping :25000 sq.m duration:2008-2011 The Sherwan Palace Hotel will include a casino, a 5 star restaurant, a conference hall, presidential and other suites, a banquette hall, a spa, and 160 single or double rooms. http://www.ccccoiran.com/images/proj...n/ad12/124.jpg http://www.ccccoiran.com/images/proj...n/ad12/125.jpg http://www.ccccoiran.com http://invest-kurdistan.wikispaces.c...9269/main1.jpg http://www.sherwanco.com/resources/1...,0s382x305.jpg http://www.sherwanco.com/resources/C...,0s381x286.jpg http://www.sherwanco.com http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4606/41937656.jpg http://www.panoramio.com/photo/41937656 |
