Struggle of the Kurds for an independent state can be considered to be one of the most challenging and most underestimated issue in the political analysis of Middle East. Kurd is the fourth largest ethnic group in this region with an estimated populace of 35 to 40 million who are dissipated among four states Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran separately. This study intends to examine the origin of Kurds, their political struggle, the factors that compelled Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq to conduct referendum for Independence and reaction of all the four countries who share Kurdish population. By adopting exploratory and explanatory approaches and utilizing primary as well secondary data, it has been found that Kurdish struggle and its outcome have been influenced by multiple complex factors which led their conflict to an unresolved state. Our analysis concluded that the states need to realize that suppression of ethnic identities and voices of Kurds might appear to be solution for short time, but not in the long run for promoting peace and regional stability in the Middle-East.

The purpose of our study was to form an idea of the current needs of civil society for the political image of the head of the Russian region (using the example of the Kemerovo region), as well as to form an idea of modern network technologies used while creating the image of regional government institutions. In the study, based on the main methodological provisions of neoinstitutionalism, we used quantitative and qualitative methods of political analysis. Including this: intent-analysis; network analysis; sampling method based on stratified sampling; method of questionnaire survey of residents of the Kemerovo region - 823 respondents; correlation analysis in the SPSS system of questionnaires of the respondents we interviewed; expert survey. During the study, we revealed the main elements in the structure of the image of the governor of Kuzbass S.E. Tsivilev. Our research allows us to assert that at the moment the image of the governor of Kuzbass S.E. Tsivilev needs serious correction and optimization. Such optimization can be effectively implemented through using of networked political technologies.

Subject Prospects for Kurdish nationalism. Significance Scattered across several countries, the Kurds have long-standing nationalist aspirations. However, the spectacular referendum miscalculation by the political leadership of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq has thrown Kurdish political projects into disarray across the region. That failure was exacerbated by a crackdown in Turkey and Ankara’s intervention in Syria’s Afrin. Impacts KRG leaders will negotiate with Baghdad for their political, economic and security interests from a position of relative weakness. Setbacks in Iraq and Syria could increase intra-Kurdish tensions as Kurdish politicians seek to capitalise on the failures of their rivals. Iranian Kurds will come under more pressure because of their Sunni identity, given fears of salafi-jihadism.

As a matter of fact whole UN 75 years history has been preoccupied by Middle East agenda in its diversity. All along this period the Security Counsil of UN has issued and still is issueing plenty of its resolutions in an endeavour to placate situations caused by numerous and endless conflicts of the diff erent intensity in the region. In the long run Middle East has turned to become dependent in the most crucial cases on the political will and capability of the SC to play decisive mission in downgradeing the regional mess resulted mostly by meddlings of the diff erent kinds by the influencial outregional forces. Nowadays more active and positive role of UN which it played in the past could be restored by bridging the diff erences and build up confidence between permanent members of the SC.

After Pompey Magnus’s conquest of the Hellenistic East in 64 B.c., theRoman administrators of Asia Occidentalis divided the Arabian peninsulainto three realms: Arabia Petraea (Rocky Arabia), which stretchedfrom Greater Syria to the Gulf of Ayala (Aqaba), and whose capital inPetra (the Rock) was carved out by the Nabateans from sandstone on theslopes of Ain Musa; Arabia Deserta (desert Arabia) with Bostra (Busra)as the commercial capital in Hawran; and Arabia Felix (happy Arabia)or Yemen with the capital city of Mariaba (Ma’rib). Arabia Petraea,despite its wilderness, played a significant role in the political life of theempire.’ Because of the natural supply of pure water in the barren land,it was a midpoint on the ancient caravan route from Hadramaut to Egyptand Syria. A variety of goods-the myrrh and frankincense of theSabaean Arabia Felix, ivory, gold, and slaves of East Africa, spices,gems, and precious wood of India- were transported via Petra andGerasa (Jerash) to Damascus, Alexandria, and Rome. In Arabia Petraea,the Prophet Yusuf was cast into a well by his brothers from which he wasfound and brought to Egypt, where he was sold. Many readers of theBible believe that Ain Musa near Petra is the spring that the ProphetMusa caused to gush forth. In the time of the Prophet Sulayman, ArabiaPetraea was populated by the semitic tribes of Edom and Moab. Duringthe rule of the Babylonian Nabuchadnezzar who sacked Jerusalem in 587B.c. and deported Judean rebels to Babylon, the Edomites established akingdom of Sela in the land of Seir.
