Middle East Research Institute MERI

Middle East Research Institute MERI MERI is a think tank focused on policy issues relating to the Middle East. Inward investment is growing exponentially, proportional to the fast growing economy.

The Middle East is going through historic changes in its political, economic and social order. With Iraq and many other regional countries in turmoil, the Kurdistan Region is emerging as a fledgling democracy and promising economic player. The people, government and political institutions of the Kurdistan Region are ambitious, forward looking and increasingly internationalised. However, the system

of governance, public and private sectors and civil society remain in their infancy and are evolving with inadequate academic support. There is, therefore, an urgent need in Kurdistan, Iraq and the entire region for modern strategic research institutions, hence, the establishment of the Middle East Research Institute (MERI) in the capital of Kurdistan Region in 2014.

شەڕی ئیرادەی ئەمریکا وئێران لە عێراق لە هەڵكشاندایە.
هەموولایەك تێیدا دۆڕاوە.
نابێ ئێران لەوە زیاتر عێراق و كوردستان بنكۆڵ بكەن، ئەگەرنا، رەنگە ئاستی پەرەسەندن لە کۆنترۆڵی ئەوانیش دەربچێت و ئاگرەكە راستەوخۆ ئێران بگرێتەوە.

لە دواوتاری سەرۆكی مێری:

عێراقی ناسک لەنێوان شاخێك و بەرداشێك گیر بووە. لەلایەكەوە ناتوانێت تەحەدای هەژموونی ئێران بکات، لە لایەكەی دیكەشەوە ناتوانێت دەستبەرداری زلهێزێکی سەرسەخت بێت کە پ...
