CHAPTER X.
ADMINISTRATION.
The administration of Northern Jazirah will be very
briefly eonsidered under three heads, viz., Iraq, Syria,
and Turkey.
( 1 ) Iraq. —That portion of Iraq which is in Northern
Jazirah is administered in precisely the same manner as
the remainder of the kingdom. Full details of this
system are given in the Handbook of Mesopotamia,
Vol. I. The Iraq portion of Northern Jazirah comes
under the Mutassariflik of Mosul and is divided into two
“ qadhas,” namely, Sinjar and Tel Afar, both governed
by Qaimmaqams. The present holders of these offices
are : —
Mutassarif of Mosul.—-Rashid Beg al Khota.
Divisional Adviser.—L. F. Nalder, Esq., C.I.E.,
C.B.E.
Qaimmaqam of Sinjar.—Yusuf Effendi Rassam.
Qaimmaqam of Tel Afar.—Ibrahim Bakir Effendi.
( 2 ) Syria. —The greater part of Northern Jazirah now
consists of Syrian territory under the French Mandate,
which, with the exception of the Qadha of Raqqah, is
contained within the boundaries of the Dair al Zor
Liwah. The Qadha of Raqqah is in the Aleppo Liwah.
That portion of the Dair al Zor Liwah in Northern
Jazirah comprises the Qadha of Hasichah (which in turn
controls the nahiyah of Ras al Ain) and the nahiyah of
Sawar, which is directly under Dair al Zor. The present
officials of these various districts are: —
Mutassarif of Dair al Zor.—Khalil al Ishaq.
Qaimmaqam of Hasichah (Acting).—Mahmud Beg.
Mudir of Ras al Ain.—Lieut. Jasir Effendi.
Mudir of Sawar.—Muhammad Effendi.
(3) Turley. —The town of Nisibin is the only pa,rt of
Northern Jazirah in Turkish territory. Nisibin is the
headquarters of a qadha of the same name, which belongs
to the Vilayet of Diarbekr. The Diarbekr province has
for some time been under the military governorate of the
G.O.C., 13th Turkish Army Corps, and the later appella
tion of G.O.C., Jazirah Front, viz., Major-General Jevad
Pasha. Similarly the Qaimmaqam of Nisibin is a
military man, usually the senior officer of the garrison
there.
