When do they update? I am beggining to become excited again.
So the Government changed the Eid Holiday. Imagine if Christmas was changed by our government in the USA - we would have an extra month to prepare.

About 4.5 hours to go if they posted at the normal time. The last three auctions have been posted up to 2 hours early. Hope we see a big auction, (because they have been closed for two days) with a reduction in the exchange rate by 10 points or more. This would be a very good thing. I'm off to bed now so I can get up at 3:45 am CST to check the CBI posting. See you all in the morning. I'll give another tally of dinars withdrawn from circulation once they post.

Is Iraq on the verge of a coup?
TEHRAN, Nov. 25 (MNA) -- The terrorist bombings that killed more than 220 residents of Baghdad's Sadr City on Thursday have caused great concern among Iranians.
The bloodshed happens at a time when U.S. forces are responsible for maintaining security in important areas of Iraq’s cities. The increasing insecurity and the focus of the terrorist attacks on the Shias show that there is an organized conspiracy against the Iraqi majority. The secret visit to Baghdad by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and former secretary of state James A. Baker, who is currently the chairman of the Iraq Study Group, is part of the conspiracy. As these developments were unfolding, it was announced that Tariq Aziz, the former Iraqi foreign minister and close aide of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein, would be released from prison. In fact, these events are all part of a new U.S. plot to topple Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s elected government and hand control of the country to Baathist elements. After 43 months of occupation, the United States’ plans in Iraq have come up against a wall. U.S. officials believe the root of their failure is the fact that the Shias are attempting to gain their rights through democratic elections. But U.S. officials unrealistically imagine that the Iraqi minority can best guarantee U.S. interests in the war-torn country because they enjoy the support of some Arab states. This minority, which had a tight grip on power for more than eight decades, refused to grant key roles to the majority because they were accustomed to seeing transfers of power only through military coups. At this stage, the U.S., under the influence of certain regional powers, has come to the conclusion that this minority, due to its geographical and ideological position, can help Washington in the implementation of the New Middle East Initiative. In light of the events that have taken place in the world over the past decade, the theory appears very illogical because if the minority comes to power in Iraq, international terrorism would probably intensify. 9/11 and the terrorist attacks in London and Madrid proved that Arab terrorists with false religious interpretations that have nothing to do with the true Islam can seriously threaten global security if they acquire a secure base. The Baathists’ return to power could provide just such a base for the terrorists who are responsible for the bloodbath in Iraq. Iraq’s new government has been established through free elections. Helping the Maliki government suppress the Arab terrorists and uproot terrorism in the country is the only way out of the current crisis. The United States has no alternative but to hand over security affairs to the Iraqi government and gradually withdraw its troops from the country because the era of military coups, like the ones that happened in the 1960s and 1970s, is over. If the U.S. intends to bring the Baathists back to power, not only Iraq but the entire region will witness a new crisis whose repercussions will be felt by regional and extra-regional powers.

Is Iraq on the verge of a coup?

Turkey: TESEV's report on "Kurdistan" recommends state investment
[16:40 , 25 Nov 2006]
Turkey,Kurdistan (Zaman)

PNA-The U.N. Development Program (UNDP), led by Kemal Dervish, prepared a report entitled “Social and Economic Priorities in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia” covering 21 Turkish cities with the contribution of the Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV).

In the report, it describes the provinces as the most underdeveloped in Turkey and notes the problem of poverty must first be solved.

The report pointed out the lack of education and underdevelopment in the region negatively affect investment decisions: “These two observations show that one cannot be hopeful in solving the region’s economic problems by a large-scale industrial step to attract investors with incentives.”

Sixty percent of the population lives below poverty line in 21 cities, including Adiyaman, Agri, Bingol, Bitlis, Diyarbakir, Erzincan, Erzurum, Gumushane, Hakkari, Kars, Mardin, Mus, Siirt, Tunceli, Sanliurfa, Van, Bayburt, Batman, Sirnak, Ardahan and Igdir, according to the report coordinated by Dr. Orhan Kurmus and led by Dr. Ayse Hudat, Professor Halis Akder and Professor Caglar Keyder.

The per capita GNP in the region is as low as seven percent of the EU average.

Unemployment is a major problem in the region and even the tendency to open a grocer will remain limited unless people’s purchasing power increases.

Population flow to western Turkey and attraction centers planned in North Iraq may increase in case the current situation continues.

In the report’s assessment on the health industry, it is emphasized the region has insufficient health investments and services.

Secondary health services are lacking and “people deprived of health services, a most fundamental citizen right, cannot be expected to live in security and therefore act in a way to promote economic development,” the report said.

Investments in both primary and secondary services in the region should be increased and regions with incoming migration should be given priority.

The green card implementation in health services should be spread further.

Patients are having communication problem at hospitals; Kurdish-speaking assistant nurses should be employed at all health institutions.

The report states Turkey should produce optimal policies to solve the problems of the people in the region with social programs in the next term, and mobilization would close the state’s infrastructure gap as well as develop the private sector in the region and attract companies to the region.

In the report, it is stated sufficient funds and political support should be provided to reduce the regional inequality and in addition to the green card implementation and programs for the elderly and disabled, the Conditional Cash Transfer implementation should be maintained with a targeted scope.

The use of the term "Kurdistan" is vigorously rejected due to its alleged political implications by the Republic of Turkey, which does not recognize the existence of a "Turkish Kurdistan" Southeast Turkey.

Others estimate as many as 40 million Kurds live in Big Kurdistan (Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Armenia), which covers an area as big as France, about half of all Kurds which estimate to 20 million live in Turkey.

The Kurdish flag flown officially in Iraqi Kurdistan but unofficially flown by Kurds in Armenia. The flag is banned in Iran, Syria, and Turkey where flying it is a criminal offence"
