Iraqi Heritage, 'a Major Concern'

A public panel, “The Implications of the Current Fighting for Iraq’s Cultural Heritage” was held on Friday evening, July 18, 2014 in Washington, DC. The panel was organized by the Iraqi Cultural Center (ICC), the Iraqi Ministry of Culture and The American Academic Research Institute in Iraq (TAARII). The goal of this panel was to focus on the current situation in Iraq, particularly on the cultural impact of the fighting which broke out in the beginning of 2014. Alex Nagel gives a report of the proceedings ('What can you do? Sharing knowledge about Iraq’s vanishing cultural heritage' SAFE July 20, 2014.)
