Arabistan is an arab territory covering 185 000 spare kilometres and with a population of 3,5 million inhabitants. It is bordered by iran on the north and on the east. It is bordered by iraq, on the west and by iraq, and the arabic gulf on the south. It was in 1925 that iran occupied arabistan, mainly due to its strategic position and the importance of its wealth especially oil. From the beginning, the occupying power made sure to annex this territory in a definitive manner. In order to do this, the occupying power put its prince in prison and adopted several arbitary measures so as to wipe, out all signs of arab presence on the territory. Besides, it used au possible means to compel the people to move towards the interior of iran. Moreover, the occupying power did not allow the population to exercise. Its political, civil and cultural rights. On the other hand, it encouraged the domination of iranien culture. But the inhabitants of the territory were finnly opposed to this policy; and decided to resort to armed conflit in order to free themselves from the occupation. In the fight for liberation, the political forces have played - and continue to play - an important role, especially in what concerns the protection of the charac- teristics of the people of arabistan. We have divided this study in two parts: in the first part we have shown documents which confirm the arab identity of the territory and the reasons which made iran occupy it. In the second part, on the other hand, we have analysed the measures taken by the occupying power against the people of arabistan, and the struggle of the latter for the protection of its existence. This research work is the first of its kind in the french language.
Abstract FR:
L'arabistan est un territoire arabe de 185 000 km2 et 3,5 millions d'habitants. Il est borde au nord et a l'est par l'iran. A l'ouest par l'irak et au sud egalement par l'irak et le golfe arabique. C'est en 1925 que l'iran occupa l'arabistan, du fait de sa position strategique et l'importance de ses richesses surtout petrolieres. Des le debut, l'occupant a tenu a annexer de maniere definitive ce territoire. A cette fin, il emprisonna son prince et adopta de nombreuses mesures arbitraires; en vue d'eliminer tout indice de la presence arabe dans le territoire. Par ailleurs, il utilisa tous les moyens en sa possession pour imposer au peuple l'exode vers l'interieur de l'iran. De plus, ce dernier interdit a la population d'exercer ses droits politiques, civils et culturels. A l'inverse, il encouragea la domination de la culture iranienne. Mais, le peuple du territoire s'opposa fermement a cette politique; en decidant de recourir a la lutte armee afin de se liberer de l'occupation. Dans le combat liberateur, les forces politiques ont joue - et continuent de jouer un role preponderant, particulierement dans le domaine de la protection des carac- teristiques du peuple d'arabistan. Nous avons divise cette recherche en deux parties. Dans la premiere, nous avons expose les documents, qui confirment l'arabite du territoire et les raisons qui ont pousse l'iran a l'occuper. Dans la seconde, en revanche, nous avons analyse les mesures prises par l'occupant contre le peuple d'arabistan, et la lutte de celui-ci pour la preservation de son existence. Cette recherche est la premiere en langue francaise.
