Barzan, Iraq
Barzan ( ku, بارزان, Barzan) is a village located on the eastern shores of the Great Zab in Erbil Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. History The village was formerly the territory of Zebari tribe and was part of Bahdinan under the name ''Baziran''. In the 19th century, the village was the residence of a Naqshbandi Sheikh and his followers, now known as the Barzani tribe. In 1914, Barzan was the site of a Russian-supported Kurdish uprising against the Ottoman Empire, which was fought concurrently with the Bitlis uprising. The tribe was nominally autonomous from the Ottoman Empire until 1915 when the Ottomans stormed the village and hanged the local sheikh. In the early 20th century, the village had a conflict with the neighboring Bradost tribe which necessitated intervention from Iraqi authorities. In 1943, local Mustafa Barzani revolted and quickly gathered support against Iraq; this would develop into the 1943 Barzani revolt. Climate Barzan has a hot-summer Medite ...

1975 Algiers Agreement
The 1975 Algiers Agreement (commonly known as the Algiers Accord, sometimes as the Algiers Declaration) was an agreement between Iran and Iraq to settle any disputes and conflicts concerning their common border (such as the Shatt al-Arab, known as Arvand Rud in Iran), and it served as basis for the bilateral treaties signed on 13 June and 26 December 1975. The agreement was intended to end disagreement between Iraq and Iran on their borders on the Shatt al-Arab waterway and in Khuzestan, but Iraq also wished to end the Kurdish rebellion. Less than six years after signing the treaty, on 17 September 1980, Iraq abrogated the treaty following a series of border clashes between the two countries and launched a full-scale invasion of Iran on 22 September 1980. Friction continues on the border despite the treaty being binding under international law and its detailed boundary delimitation remaining in force since it was signed in 1975 and ratified in 1976 by both nations.
