Sykes-Picot Agreement - The text
Sir Edward Grey to Paul Cambon, 16 May 1916
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 9th instant, stating that the French Government accept the limits of a future Arab State, or Confederation of States, and of those parts of Syria where French interests predominate, together with certain conditions attached thereto, such as they result from recent discussions in London and Petrograd on the subject.
I have the honour to inform your Excellency in reply that the acceptance of the whole project, as it now stands, will involve the abdication of considerable British interests, but, since His Majesty's Government recognise the advantage to the general cause of the Allies entailed in producing a more favourable internal political situation in Turkey, they are ready to accept the arrangement now arrived at, provided that the co-operation of the Arabs is secured, and that the Arabs fulfil the conditions and obtain the towns of Homs, Hama, Damascus, and Aleppo.
It is accordingly understood between the French and British Governments---
1. That France and Great Britain are prepared to recognize and protect an independent Arab State or a Confederation of Arab States in the areas (A) and (B) marked on the annexed map, under the suzerainty of an Arab chief. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall have priority of right of enterprise and local loans. That in area (A) France, and in area (B) Great Britain, shall alone supply advisers or foreign functionaries at the request of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States.
2. That in the blue area France, and in the red area Great Britain, shall be allowed to establish such direct or indirect administration or control as they desire and as they may think fit to arrange with the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States. 3. That in the brown area there shall be established an international administration, the form of which is to be decided upon after consultation with Russia, and subsequently in consultation with the other Allies, and the representatives of the Shereef of Mecca.
4. That Great Britain be accorded (1) the ports of Haifa and Acre, (2) guarantee of a given supply of water from the Tigris and Euphrates in area (A) for area (B). His Majesty's Government, on their part, undertake that they will at no time enter into negotiations for the cession of Cyprus to any third Power without the previous consent of the French Government.
5. That Alexandretta shall be a free port as regards the trade of the British Empire, and that there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards British shipping and British goods; that there shall be freedom of transit for British goods through Alexandretta and by railway through the blue area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the red area, or (B) area, or area (A); and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect against British goods on any railway or against British goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.
That Haifa shall be a free port as regards the trade of France, her dominions and protectorates, and there shall be no discrimination in port charges or facilities as regards French shipping and French goods. There shall be freedom of transit for French goods through Haifa and by the British railway through the brown area, whether those goods are intended for or originate in the blue area, area (A), or area (B), and there shall be no discrimination, direct or indirect, against French goods on any railway, or against French goods or ships at any port serving the areas mentioned.
6. That in area (A) the Baghdad Railway shall not be extended southwards beyond Mosul, and in area (B) northwards beyond Samarra, until a railway connecting Baghdad with Aleppo via the Euphrates Valley has been completed, and then only with the concurrence of the two Governments.
7. That Great Britain has the right to build, administer, and be sole owner of a railway connecting Haifa with area (B), and shall have a perpetual right to transport troops along such a line at all times.
It is to be understood by both Governments that this railway is to facilitate the connexion of Baghdad with Haifa by rail, and it is further understood that, if the engineering difficulties and expense entailed by keeping this connecting line in the brown area only make the project unfeasible, that the French Government shall be prepared to consider that the line in question may also traverse the polygon Banias-Keis Marib-Salkhab Tell Otsda-Mesmie before reaching area (B).
8. For a period of twenty years the existing Turkish customs tariff shall remain in force throughout the whole of the blue and red areas, as well as in areas (A) and (B), and no increase in the rates of duty or conversion from ad valorem to specific rates shall be made except by agreement between the two Powers.
There shall be no interior customs barriers between any of the above-mentioned areas. The customs duties leviable on goods destined for the interior shall be collected at the port of entry and handed over to the administration of the area of destination.
9. It shall be agreed that the French Government will at no time enter into any negotiations for the cession of their rights and will not cede such rights in the blue area to any third Power, except the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States without the previous agreement of His Majesty's Government, who, on their part, will give a similar undertaking to the French Government regarding the red area.
10. The British and French Governments, as the protectors of the Arab State, shall agree that they will not themselves acquire and will not consent to a third Power acquiring territorial possessions in the Arabian peninsula, nor consent to a third Power installing a naval base either on the east coast, or on the islands, of the Red Sea. This, however, shall not prevent such adjustment of the Aden frontier as may be necessary in consequence of recent Turkish aggression.
11. The negotiations with the Arabs as to the boundaries of the Arab State or Confederation of Arab States shall be continued through the same channel as heretofore on behalf of the two Powers.
12. It is agreed that measures to control the importation of arms into the Arab territories will be considered by the two Governments.
I have further the honour to state that, in order to make the agreement complete, His Majesty's Government are proposing to the Russian Government to exchange notes analogous to those exchanged by the latter and your Excellency's Government on the 26th April last. Copies of these notes will be communicated to your Excellency as soon as exchanged.
I would also venture to remind your Excellency that the conclusion of the present agreement raises, for practical consideration, the question of the claims of Italy to a share in any partition or rearrangement of Turkey in Asia, as formulated in article 9 of the agreement of the 26th April, 1915, between Italy and the Allies.
His Majesty's Government further consider that the Japanese Government should be informed of the arrangement now concluded.

Blood borders
How a better Middle East would look
By Ralph Peters
International borders are never completely just. But the degree of injustice they inflict upon those whom frontiers force together or separate makes an enormous difference — often the difference between freedom and oppression, tolerance and atrocity, the rule of law and terrorism, or even peace and war.
The most arbitrary and distorted borders in the world are in Africa and the Middle East. Drawn by self-interested Europeans (who have had sufficient trouble defining their own frontiers), Africa's borders continue to provoke the deaths of millions of local inhabitants. But the unjust borders in the Middle East — to borrow from Churchill — generate more trouble than can be consumed locally.
While the Middle East has far more problems than dysfunctional borders alone — from cultural stagnation through scandalous inequality to deadly religious extremism — the greatest taboo in striving to understand the region's comprehensive failure isn't Islam but the awful-but-sacrosanct international boundaries worshipped by our own diplomats.
Of course, no adjustment of borders, however draconian, could make every minority in the Middle East happy. In some instances, ethnic and religious groups live intermingled and have intermarried. Elsewhere, reunions based on blood or belief might not prove quite as joyous as their current proponents expect. The boundaries projected in the maps accompanying this article redress the wrongs suffered by the most significant "cheated" population groups, such as the Kurds, Baluch and Arab Shia, but still fail to account adequately for Middle Eastern Christians, Bahais, Ismailis, Naqshbandis and many another numerically lesser minorities. And one haunting wrong can never be redressed with a reward of territory: the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians by the dying Ottoman Empire.
Yet, for all the injustices the borders re-imagined here leave unaddressed, without such major boundary revisions, we shall never see a more peaceful Middle East.
Even those who abhor the topic of altering borders would be well-served to engage in an exercise that attempts to conceive a fairer, if still imperfect, amendment of national boundaries between the Bosporus and the Indus. Accepting that international statecraft has never developed effective tools — short of war — for readjusting faulty borders, a mental effort to grasp the Middle East's "organic" frontiers nonetheless helps us understand the extent of the difficulties we face and will continue to face. We are dealing with colossal, man-made deformities that will not stop generating hatred and violence until they are corrected.
As for those who refuse to "think the unthinkable," declaring that boundaries must not change and that's that, it pays to remember that boundaries have never stopped changing through the centuries. Borders have never been static, and many frontiers, from Congo through Kosovo to the Caucasus, are changing even now (as ambassadors and special representatives avert their eyes to study the shine on their wingtips).
Oh, and one other dirty little secret from 5,000 years of history: Ethnic cleansing works.
Begin with the border issue most sensitive to American reader For Israel to have any hope of living in reasonable peace with its neighbors, it will have to return to its pre-1967 borders — with essential local adjustments for legitimate security concerns. But the issue of the territories surrounding Jerusalem, a city stained with thousands of years of blood, may prove intractable beyond our lifetimes. Where all parties have turned their god into a real-estate tycoon, literal turf battles have a tenacity unrivaled by mere greed for oil wealth or ethnic squabbles. So let us set aside this single overstudied issue and turn to those that are studiously ignored.
The most glaring injustice in the notoriously unjust lands between the Balkan Mountains and the Himalayas is the absence of an independent Kurdish state. There are between 27 million and 36 million Kurds living in contiguous regions in the Middle East (the figures are imprecise because no state has ever allowed an honest census). Greater than the population of present-day Iraq, even the lower figure makes the Kurds the world's largest ethnic group without a state of its own. Worse, Kurds have been oppressed by every government controlling the hills and mountains where they've lived since Xenophon's day.
The U.S. and its coalition partners missed a glorious chance to begin to correct this injustice after Baghdad's fall. A Frankenstein's monster of a state sewn together from ill-fitting parts, Iraq should have been divided into three smaller states immediately. We failed from cowardice and lack of vision, bullying Iraq's Kurds into supporting the new Iraqi government — which they do wistfully as a quid pro quo for our good will. But were a free plebiscite to be held, make no mistak Nearly 100 percent of Iraq's Kurds would vote for independence.
As would the long-suffering Kurds of Turkey, who have endured decades of violent military oppression and a decades-long demotion to "mountain Turks" in an effort to eradicate their identity. While the Kurdish plight at Ankara's hands has eased somewhat over the past decade, the repression recently intensified again and the eastern fifth of Turkey should be viewed as occupied territory. As for the Kurds of Syria and Iran, they, too, would rush to join an independent Kurdistan if they could. The refusal by the world's legitimate democracies to champion Kurdish independence is a human-rights sin of omission far worse than the clumsy, minor sins of commission that routinely excite our media. And by the way: A Free Kurdistan, stretching from Diyarbakir through Tabriz, would be the most pro-Western state between Bulgaria and Japan.
A just alignment in the region would leave Iraq's three Sunni-majority provinces as a truncated state that might eventually choose to unify with a Syria that loses its littoral to a Mediterranean-oriented Greater Lebanon: Phoenecia reborn. The Shia south of old Iraq would form the basis of an Arab Shia State rimming much of the Persian Gulf. Jordan would retain its current territory, with some southward expansion at Saudi expense. For its part, the unnatural state of Saudi Arabia would suffer as great a dismantling as Pakistan.
A root cause of the broad stagnation in the Muslim world is the Saudi royal family's treatment of Mecca and Medina as their fiefdom. With Islam's holiest shrines under the police-state control of one of the world's most bigoted and oppressive regimes — a regime that commands vast, unearned oil wealth — the Saudis have been able to project their Wahhabi vision of a disciplinarian, intolerant faith far beyond their borders. The rise of the Saudis to wealth and, consequently, influence has been the worst thing to happen to the Muslim world as a whole since the time of the Prophet, and the worst thing to happen to Arabs since the Ottoman (if not the Mongol) conquest.
While non-Muslims could not effect a change in the control of Islam's holy cities, imagine how much healthier the Muslim world might become were Mecca and Medina ruled by a rotating council representative of the world's major Muslim schools and movements in an Islamic Sacred State — a sort of Muslim super-Vatican — where the future of a great faith might be debated rather than merely decreed. True justice — which we might not like — would also give Saudi Arabia's coastal oil fields to the Shia Arabs who populate that subregion, while a southeastern quadrant would go to Yemen. Confined to a rump Saudi Homelands Independent Territory around Riyadh, the House of Saud would be capable of far less mischief toward Islam and the world.
Iran, a state with madcap boundaries, would lose a great deal of territory to Unified Azerbaijan, Free Kurdistan, the Arab Shia State and Free Baluchistan, but would gain the provinces around Herat in today's Afghanistan — a region with a historical and linguistic affinity for Persia. Iran would, in effect, become an ethnic Persian state again, with the most difficult question being whether or not it should keep the port of Bandar Abbas or surrender it to the Arab Shia State.
What Afghanistan would lose to Persia in the west, it would gain in the east, as Pakistan's Northwest Frontier tribes would be reunited with their Afghan brethren (the point of this exercise is not to draw maps as we would like them but as local populations would prefer them). Pakistan, another unnatural state, would also lose its Baluch territory to Free Baluchistan. The remaining "natural" Pakistan would lie entirely east of the Indus, except for a westward spur near Karachi.
The city-states of the United Arab Emirates would have a mixed fate — as they probably will in reality. Some might be incorporated in the Arab Shia State ringing much of the Persian Gulf (a state more likely to evolve as a counterbalance to, rather than an ally of, Persian Iran). Since all puritanical cultures are hypocritical, Dubai, of necessity, would be allowed to retain its playground status for rich debauchees. Kuwait would remain within its current borders, as would Oman.
In each case, this hypothetical redrawing of boundaries reflects ethnic affinities and religious communalism — in some cases, both. Of course, if we could wave a magic wand and amend the borders under discussion, we would certainly prefer to do so selectively. Yet, studying the revised map, in contrast to the map illustrating today's boundaries, offers some sense of the great wrongs borders drawn by Frenchmen and Englishmen in the 20th century did to a region struggling to emerge from the humiliations and defeats of the 19th century.
Correcting borders to reflect the will of the people may be impossible. For now. But given time — and the inevitable attendant bloodshed — new and natural borders will emerge. Babylon has fallen more than once.
Meanwhile, our men and women in uniform will continue to fight for security from terrorism, for the prospect of democracy and for access to oil supplies in a region that is destined to fight itself. The current human divisions and forced unions between Ankara and Karachi, taken together with the region's self-inflicted woes, form as perfect a breeding ground for religious extremism, a culture of blame and the recruitment of terrorists as anyone could design. Where men and women look ruefully at their borders, they look enthusiastically for enemies.
From the world's oversupply of terrorists to its paucity of energy supplies, the current deformations of the Middle East promise a worsening, not an improving, situation. In a region where only the worst aspects of nationalism ever took hold and where the most debased aspects of religion threaten to dominate a disappointed faith, the U.S., its allies and, above all, our armed forces can look for crises without end. While Iraq may provide a counterexample of hope — if we do not quit its soil prematurely — the rest of this vast region offers worsening problems on almost every front.
If the borders of the greater Middle East cannot be amended to reflect the natural ties of blood and faith, we may take it as an article of faith that a portion of the bloodshed in the region will continue to be our own.

من بين الدول التي سيشملها التقسيم: العراق، السعودية، سورية، الإمارات.. (الوطن) تنفرد بنشر (خارطة الدم) الجديدة للشرق الأوسط: دولة كردستان في العراق وأخرى شيعستان في السعودية والعراق وسنيستان في سورية بالاضافة إلى الأردن الكبير (http://www.watan.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=7207&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0)
واشنطن – الوطن – خاص - في موقع مجلة القوة العسكرية تموز 2006 , نشرت خارطة جديدة للشرق الأوسط بمقال معنون (حدود الدم) , حددت ملامح جديدة لخارطة شرق أوسطية جديدة والتقرير يفترض إن الحدود بين الدول غير مكتملة وغير نهائية , خصوصا في قارة إفريقيا التي تكبدت ملايين القتلى وبقيت حدودها الدولية بدون تغيير والشرق الأوسط الملتهب والمتوتر منذ عقود, هذه الحدود التي شكلت أوربيا (الفرنسيون والبريطانيون ) في أوائل القرن العشرين، من الدولتين اللتين كانتا تعانيان من هزائمها في القرن التاسع عشر فكان التقسيم عبئا عليها وجاء من عدم الإدراك لخطورة هذا التشكيل الذي قسم قوميات على جانبي الحدود وأصبحت كتلا قومية كبيرة ومبعثرة على جوانب الحدود لعدة دول ,وقد يضم الكيان السياسي المستقل اثنيات وطوائف متناحرة .
أن حدود الشرق الأوسط تسبب خللا وظيفيا داخل الدولة نفسها وبين الدول من خلال إعمال لا أخلاقية تمارس ضد الأقليات القومية والدينية والأثنية .أو بسبب التطرف الديني أو القومي والمذهبي.أن لم الشمل على أساس الدين والقومية في دولة واحدة لن يجعل الأقليات سعيدة ومتوافقة, إن القومية الخالصة أو الطائفة وحدها يمكن تجد مبررا لتغير الحدود ولتشكيل كيان سياسي لها كما يفترض التقرير ,وللمقارنة انظر هذه الخارطة السياسية قبل التقسيم:
http://www.watan.com/img/3/Map77.jpg
في الرؤيا الجديدة لشرق أوسط مابعد التقسيم والذي نشر على الموقع :
http://www.watan.com/img/3/Map88.jpg
في هذه الرؤيا إن التقسيمات ليست على أساس خرائط معدة مسبقا بل أعدت على أساس وقائع ديموغرافية (الدين القومية والمذهبية). ولأن إعادة تصحيح الحدود الدولية يتطلب توافقا لإرادات الشعوب التي قد تكون مستحيلة في الوقت الراهن, ولضيق الوقت لابد من سفك الدماء للوصول إلى هذه الغاية التي يجب أن تستغل من قبل الإدارة الأمريكية وحلفائها. يفترض إن إسرائيل لا يمكنها العيش مع جيرانها ولهذا جاء الفصل عن جيرانها العرب, ولذا فأن الطوائف المتباينة التي لايمكن التعايش فيما بينها من الممكن تجمعها بكيان سياسي واحد.
الأكراد على سبيل المثال اكبر قومية موزعة على عدة دول بدون كيان سياسي. عليه فأن الولايات المتحدة وحلفائها لا تريد أن تفوت فرصة تصحيح (الظلم) بعد احتلال بغداد مستفيدة من فراغ القوة التي كان يشكلها العراق الذي أصبح مؤكدا الآن بأنه الدولة الوحيدة في العالم التي كانت الحاجز العظيم أمام تنفيذ المخطط الأمريكي للمنطقة.
الدول المستهدفة بالتقسيم والاستقطاع هي إيران, تركيا, العراق, السعودية وباكستان وسوريا والأمارات, و دول ستوسع لأغراض سياسية بحتة, اليمن, الأردن وأفغانستان,
الدول الجديدة التي ستنشأ..... من تقسيم العراق تنشأ ثلاث دويلات (كردستان وسنيستان وشيعستان),( دولة كردستان الكبرى),وستشمل على كردستان العراق وبضمنها طبعا كركوك النفطية وأجزاء من الموصل وخانقين وديالى,وأجزاء من تركيا ,إيران وسوريا,ارمينياواذربيجان, وستكون أكثر دولة موالية للغرب ولأمريكا.
(دولة شيعستان),وستشمل على جنوب العراق والجزء الشرقي من السعودية والأجزاء الجنوبية الغربية من إيران(الأهواز)وستكون بشكل حزام يحيط بالخليج العربي. (دولة سنيستان) ستنشأ على ما تبقى من ارض العراق وربما تدمج مع سوريا .وخلق( دولة بلوشستان الجديدة),التي ستقطع أراضيها من الجزء الجنوبي الغربي لباكستان والجزء الجنوبي الشرقي من إيران.
إيران ستفقد أجزاء منها لصالح الدولة الكردية وأجزاء منها لصالح دولة شيعية عربية وأجزاء لصالح أذربيجان الموحدة, وستحصل على أجزاء من أفغانستان المتاخمة لها لتكون دولة فارسية.
أفغانستان ستفقد جزء من أراضيها الغربية إلى بلاد فارس وستحصل على أجزاء من باكستان وستعاد إليها منطقة القبائل
السعودية ستعاني اكبر قدر من التقسيم كالباكستان وستقسم السعودية إلى دولتين ,دولة دينية (الدولة الإسلامية المقدسة) على غرار الفاتيكان , تشمل على كل المواقع الدينية المهمة لمسلمي العالم,ودولة سياسية (السعودية) وسيقتطع منها أجزاء لتمنح إلى دول أخرى(اليمن والأردن).
ستنشأ دولة جديدة على الأردن القديم بعد أن تقطع أراضي لها من السعودية وربما من فلسطين المحتلة لتشمل على كل فلسطيني الداخل وفلسطيني الشتات (الأردن الكبير).
اليمن سيتم توسعه من اقتطاع أجزاء من جنوب السعودية وتبقى الكويت وعمان بدون تغيير.
لماذا يتم عرض هذه الخارطة الآن؟...ماهو الغرض بعرضها بموقع عسكري أمريكي رسمي؟
الإدارة الأمريكية كانت قد طرحت مبادءها وتصورها عن شرق أوسط (ديمقراطي) جديد, يبدأ من إلغاء الخرائط الاستعمارية القديمة التي أنشأها الاستعمار الفرنسي والبريطاني في بداية القرن العشرين لانتفاء الحاجة إليها بسبب المتغيرات القومية والطائفية الجديدة للبلدان المعنية بالتقسيم.
التقسيم والاقتطاع وسيلة لأضعاف الدول التي تتعرض للتقسيم والاقتطاع,الدول لجديدة التي ستنشأ ستكون موالية تماما للإدارة الأمريكية بحكم العرفان بالجميل للعناصر الانفصالية المستفيدة إلى الدولة التي منحتهم الاستقلال,والدول التي ستتوسع ستكون مدينة أيضا بمولاتها لمشروع التقسيم والضم .والأردن الكبير سيكون الحل الأمثل للمشكلة الفلسطينية واللاجئين الفلسطينيين ونقطة جوهرية بتخليص إسرائيل من مشكلة تواجهها باستمرار وهي التغيير الديموغرافي للسكان لصالح الفلسطينيين في حال تطبيق قرارات مجلس الأمن ذات الصلة.
لكن السؤال هل هو هذا الحل الممكن للتخلص من المشاكل التي تواجه إستراتيجية الولايات المتحدة للسيطرة على العالم وعلى مصادر الطاقة؟...أم أنها ستكون بؤر جديدة للتوتر ونوعا جديدا من الحروب بين الكيانات القديمة والجديدة(المثال الكوري) والاقتتال الداخلي والتوتر غير محسوب العواقب(تيمور الشرقية).
إن محاولة تقسيم العراق بأيدي عملاء عراقيين باتت معروفة وكشفت معظم خيوطها, فهل يمكن أن تجر الدول الأخرى بنفس الطريقة.
ربما يكون طرح الفكرة والخارطة التقسيمية مجددا هو ورقة ضغط على:
1- تركيا.... في حالة معارضتها لمشروع الدولة الكردية في كردستان العراق المقترح خلقها في حال فشل المشروع الأمريكي السياسي والعسكري في العراق لتكون كردستان المكان الأمن لقواتها في حالة انسحابها .
2-إيران....كتهديد مباشر على تدخلها السافر في العراق وتجاوزها لخطوط حمراء وضعتها الإدارة الأمريكية لها.
3- السعودية لمنعها من دعم (المتمردين) أو لفيدرالية شيعية في الجنوب.
4- باكستان.... لضمان عدم ترددها بضرب (طالبان) والعناصر الإسلامية المتشددة وضمان بقائها ضمن المشروع الأمريكي.
5- اليمن,و الأردن, لإغراقهم بحلم التوسع والأكراد بحلم خلق دولة جديدة لهم.كمكافئة غنية لمدى دعمهم للمشروع الأمريكي.
هذا هو الحلم الأمريكي, وحلم الانفصاليين والتابعين والسائرين ضد أحلام ومستقبل شعوبهم.
إن التقسيم والاقتطاع لتشكيل دولا جديدة أو توسيع لدول قديمة لا يمكن إن يمر دون, إما بالاتفاق وهو امرأ مستحيلا لدولا مستقلة ومستقرة ذات كيانات سياسية معترف بها دوليا بهذا الشكل أوان تتم بالتقسيم ألقسري بالشكل الذي ينجز حاليا في العراق. وتمنح الإدارة الأمريكية الآن وبسرعة الأولوية القصوى لأنجاحة ومن ثم تعميمه على المنطقة ككل.لقد كان من الضروري للدول المعنية بالتقسيم والاقتطاع إلى الانتباه إلى تحذيرات كان قد أطلقها الرئيس العراقي صدام حسين قبل شن الحرب الهمجية على العراق, من إن العراق سيكون الخطوة الأولى ,ومن هنا تجئ خطورة المقاومة الوطنية العراقية بكل فصائلها على مشاريع الإدارة الأمريكية وحلفائها في إفشال ليس الاحتلال نفسه ولكن إنقاذا للمنطقة كلها وللعالم من هذا الشر القادم الذي قد يؤدي بنهاية المطاف إلى إغراق العالم بسلسلة من الحروب قد تنتهي بحرب مدمرة للبشرية
