Abstract
To start an article on the Middle East with such a negative and discouraging note may seem weird but it is the truth and nothing but the truth so it should not surprise anyone who has a bit of knowledge on the region. It should not come as a surprise either if I say “the only peaceful times were when the Ottomans ruled the region for about five centuries.” This is why David Fromkin’s famous book on the peace treaty of 1919 after the First World War is called, “A Peace to End All Peace.” In this article ,we focused on the Middle East peace in terms of regional and international relationship. It is unfortunate that this region is so far away from peace in many respect.
