Waiting on the tarmac at Mehrabad Airport to board the flight that would take me south to Kerman, on the dusty edge of Baluchistan, I studied the plane. |
Before it was split between Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Baluchistan spread over an area slightly larger than California. |
They are identical in shape and colour with ancient Egyptian beads and other beads obtained from ancient cities in Baluchistan. |
Persia and Afghanistan undoubtedly belong to the Palarctic region, and Baluchistan should probably go with these. |
Just as in the province of Kurdistan, there are Kurds, in Azerbaijan Turks, in Turkmenistan, Turkoman and in Baluchistan, Baluchis. |
Authorities in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan say most of the province's 26 districts are suffering from severe famine as a result of the drought. |
