Firstly to make an assessment of the current situation of the Turkmen in the Tuz Khormatu District; secondly to highlight the oppression of Turkmen after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime; thirdly to introduce a brief history of the Turkmen in Tuz Khormatu to the world; and finally to draw the world's attention to the situation and oppression of the Turkmen in Iraq" (Purpose and Scope). Contents: Introduction.; The Jews.; Language, education, tribes and clans.; Political and religious movements.; Culture and literature.; Historical places.; Social life.; Occupation of Iraq in 2003.; Incidents of oppression of the Turkmen in Iraq.
