Ambiguity on the frontier of Iran and Iraq An overview of the literature

Presented at the Third International Conference on Faylee Kurds,Brussels, European Parliament, 12 April 2018 by Martin van Bruinessen, Utrecht University

Let me begin by thanking Akram Hawas for inviting me to this conference and insisting that Icome although I told him I have never done any special research on the Fayli. What I amgoing to tell today is what I have found in the existing scholarly literature, with perhaps anoccasional observation or anecdote remembered from my days of research and travels in theregion.
