These turkmans who were encouraged by the turks and have migrated from Turkmenistan to Kurdistan who later settled in Kirkuk during the Ottoman empire (turks) want to claim Kirkuk to be theirs, despite the 1957 census which Kurds come majority in the province which led to Saddam's arabisation of the province for its rich reserves in oil.

Abandoned Jewish homes still stand in Kirkuk
(7 Jun 2019) LEADIN:
Kirkuk in northern Iraq used to be home to a Jewish community.
Their houses are now crumbling and abandoned, after the Jews left the city en masse in 1950.
STORYLINE:
They're still standing, some 70 years after their Jewish owners were forced to migrate to Israel.
The houses can be seen in the Kirkuk neighbourhoods of Peeryadi, Tawrat, Musalla, Zewe, Imam Qassim, and Akhur Hussein.
Most are empty - but not all. Local Turkmens, Arabs, and Kurds occupy some of them.
That's despite the fact that the houses are the property of the state, and cannot be bought or sold.
Peeryadi resident Yashar al Dabagh says the neighbourhood was different once.
The Jewish used to live in this area. On this side, they used to have their bazaar there; they had a small bazaar there, while the houses were on the other side along with their synagogue.
There were about 1,400 to 1,500 Jewish people living in Kirkuk until 1950, when they had to migrate to the newly established state of Israel, set up in 1948.
That's according to Simko Bahruz, a writer and a historian from Kirkuk, who is writing a book about the city's former Jewish community.
Because of the establishment of the Israeli state, and due to the law that was issued by the Iraqi government to withdraw their nationality and their identification cards, the Jewish migrated in waves to Israel and didn't stay in Iraq.
The Jewish community had been one of the most active and influential communities in Iraq.
They worked as goldsmiths and in real estate, and, according to Simko Bahruz, were a positive contribution to the cultural diversity of Kirkuk.
Mulla Abdi Abdullah mosque in the neighbourhood of Peeryadi was named after a Jewish man who converted to Islam and refused to go to Israel.
Akram Sulaiman, the current imam of Mulla Abid mosque explains:
Mulla Abid's, rest in peace, father and mother were Jewish, and when he was a child he started to come and study under Sheikh Tahir., he says.
After a while, he grew and become a young man, let's say he was around 14 or 15 years old, when the Jewish started to leave, but he didn't go. He stayed here with Sheikh Tahir Effendi.
Mulla Abdi became the imam for the mosque in Peeryadi until his death. He was buried inside the mosque.
Oil-rich Kirkuk is often called the mini Iraq because of the diversity of its population.
There are Kurds, Arabs, and Turkmen ethnic groups living in Kirkuk, in addition to different religious groups such as the Christians and Kakais.

IRAQ: KIRKUK: DESTROYED VILLAGE ALLEGATION
Arabic/Eng/Nat
Iraqi officials have refuted U-S claims that government forces destroyed a village in a crack down on political opposition.
Officials took reporters to the site on Monday to show that what the United States termed a destroyed village was what they described as an archaeological site under excavation.
According to a U-S report released last week, parts of this citadel in Kirkuk in Northern Iraq were destroyed by Government forces in a bid to route out political opposition in the town.
The report showed aerial pictures of the destruction allegedly wrought by forces of President Saddam Hussein and accused Iraq of repressing its own people.
On Tuesday, the Iraqi government dismissed the claims as lies and said the U-S pictures showed the ancient citadel under excavation in the northern city of Kirkuk.
Top officials are claiming that the report was an attempt by Washington to move international opinion away from ending the U-N imposed sanctions on the Saddam Hussein's regime.
According to the Iraqi ministry of antiquities, excavation work at the citadel resumed last year after residents were moved to the city.
The houses on the site which have since been demolished were bought by the government in 1985.
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
I was compensated. I was given a land and a good amount of money which enabled me to buy another house. So I am grateful to the President.

An official from the presidential office in Baghdad said he had been surprised when he heard the U-S claims.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
The citadel of Kirkuk was neglected by its people since 1985, the houses are so small. Some of them were only 20 square metres and not suitable for modern living. Everyone wanted to buy a modern house down in the city. We bought all the houses and the owners were compensated at levels much higher than than the actual value of their properties.

Govenor for the city, Nawfel Hameed also accompanied reporters to the site
SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)
You are going to tour the city and see the citadel for yourselves, if you find any evidence of any shooting or fighting - then the American claims are true and ours are false.

U-N imposed sanctions have crippled Iraq since they were imposed following Baghdad's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
It has appealed to the United Nations to lift the sanctions claiming they victimize the Iraqi population.
However, the United States says sanctions must remain in place until Iraq complies with the commitments it made to the United Nations after the 1991 Gulf War.
