Χάρτης της «νέας» Μέσης Ανατολής.

A relatively unknown map of the Middle East, NATO-garrisoned Afghanistan, and Pakistan has been circulating around strategic, governmental, NATO, policy and military circles since mid-2006.

It has been causally allowed to surface in public, maybe in an attempt to build consensus and to slowly prepare the general public for possible, maybe even cataclysmic, changes in the Middle East.

This is a map of a redrawn and restructured Middle East identified as the “New Middle East.”

 

 

Countries gaining territory: labeled black

Countries loosing territory: labeled red

Countries unchanged: labeled gray

 

 

Note: The map was published in the «US Armed Forces Journal» in June 2006. Αlthough the map does not officially reflect Pentagon doctrine, it has been used in a training program at NATO’s Defense College for senior military officers. This map, as well as other similar maps, has most probably been used at the National War Academy as well as in military planning circles.
