There is no such thing as the Middle East. We know this. There are only tribes and villages there. The nation-state was created by the British and the French in 1916.”Referring to the historic Sykes–Picot Agreement, he added: “They took what was left of the Ottoman Empire, drew straight lines around it, and called it a nation-state. But the Middle East doesn’t work that way.”The U.S. Special Envoy, rejecting the possibility of political convergence in the region, emphasized: “It is an illusion to think that 27 different countries with 110 different ethnic groups can align with political concepts. What do they actually align with? With the idea that my life and my children’s lives will be better.” Take less than a minute, register and share your opinion under this post.Insulting or inciting messages will be deleted.Sign UpComming Up Next The United States Ministry of Foreign Affairs called Mustafa Tajzadeh's arrest while on leave from prison and his transfer to Evin as an "obvious disregard of the Islamic Republic's principles, human dignity, and justice."خواندن 1 minute American announcements and warnings in Persianخواندن 0 Trump on how he got Hamas to accept the deal: I spoke a little bit tough and that was enough.
