In the name of God who encourages people to work together and live together.
The east coast of the
White sea extends from the Euphrates to the Nile. One-thousand kilometers of coastlines from
the north river to the south river on the East White sea. Syria is the biggest country on the East
coast of the White sea. The southern
shoreline of the East coast of the White sea is parallel with the Dead Sea Faultline
and a mountain chain that extends for five-hundred kilometers. The geography of the White sea with the
geography of the Dead sea fault line and the mountain chain have influenced the
demarcation of the borders for the countries of Lebanon, Israel, Gaza Strip,
Jordan.
Syria has 22 million
people. In the neighbor countries of Syria, half of them are larger and half
are smaller. Egypt is the largest,
having one-hundred and ten million people in the country. Iran has ninety million people. Turkiye has Eight-five million people. The following countries are half the size of
any of the largest countries however they are larger than Syria. Iraq has forty-five million people. Saudi arabia has Thirty-five million
people.
Several other countries
are situated along the East of the White sea near Syria. Each are half the size of Syria or as small
as a fraction of the size. Jordan has
eleven million people. Greece has ten million people. Israel has nine million people. Lebanon has six million people. Gaza Strip has two million people. Cyprus has one million people.
Nearly half a billion
people live in this area between the Euphrates and the Nile river. You will find that half of all of these
people are living together in the biggest cities of their countries. In Syria twenty-five percent live in the four
cities of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Idlib. Today half of the population of
Syria has been displaced from the borders of the country. The population who remains inside the borders
of Syria is a majority of men and they are men whose fathers fathers were born
on this land. The men with the deepest
bloodlines are the last remaining people in the country of Syria today. In the past two million lived in Damascus,
two million in Aleppo, One million in Homs and one million in Idlib. Today the size of the population has
refocused to different cities than in the past.
Today three million have focused into Idlib. Idlib is now the biggest city in Syria. Damascus has become half of a million people.
Homs has become smaller in population
and Aleppo has grown in size. When the
siege on the borders of Syria is lifted the neighbor countries will be very
fast to economically bond with Syria because of their proximity and geographic
interdependence.
Egypt has twenty-five
percent of the country living in the metropolis of Cairo and Alexandria. Egypt is the biggest country on the Eastern
White sea. Iran has thirty percent of
the population living in the metropolis of Tehran. Turkiye is the next biggest. Thirty percent of Turkiye lives in the
metropolis of Istanbul. Half of the country
of Turkiye lives in the four biggest cities.
Ankara has five and a half million people. Gazantiep has two million people. Antalya has one million people. Hatay province is significant to Syria
because the territory blocks the access to the shores of the White sea. Economically Hatay province is inseparable from
Syria. Only the imaginary borders and
the politics can attempt to separate them.
One and a half million people live in Hatay province. As you see with the biggest powers of the
economy of these countries being wielded by a handful of cities along the east of
the White sea. The biggest city of the country becomes the economic engine and
supplies the power for the country to have international trade.
Iraq has nearly thirty
percent of the population living in the cities of Baghdad, Basrah, Fallujah and
Karbala. Baghdad has eight million. Basrah has one million. Fallujah has a half million people and Karbala
has a half million people. Saudi Arabis

living in three big cities. Amman has
four million people. Irbid has two
million people living there. Zarqa has
one and a half million people living there.
Greece has nearly forty percent of the people living in the metropolis
of Athens city alone. Athens is equal to
nearly half of the economic power of the country of Greece. Israel has twenty percent of the population
living in three cities of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa. Lebanon has sixty percent of the population living
in three cities. Beirut has half of the
population of Lebanon living there, they are three million people in the
