Rehabilitation of Kurdistan

1. Create larger villages by combining small villages which had existed before or which still exist in close proximity to each other. The villages must be built with regard to the area’s environmental conditions. Every village should have no less than 150 houses.

2. Build a school, a mosque (sanctuary), a clinic, a veterinary center, a community center, a mechanical unit (tractors, combines, bulldozers and shovels) in addition to postal service, drinking water, irrigation water, electricity, markets. . .etc. . . for each village.

3. Obtain and employ modern irrigation techniques with regard to sowing, growing and harvesting agricultural products, utilizing chemical fertilizers, protecting the plantations against disease, and encouraging the farmers to follow the new methods of cultivation.

4. Introduce modern farm equipment and division of labor to the agricultural process.

5. Build appropriate factories for each village based on the locations available natural resources.

6. Develop and extend vineyards, summer crop farms and scientific treatment and preservation of them.
