Abstract:

Young Iraq officers were influenced by the principles of the revolution of July 23, 1952 in Egypt, and a groupi of Iraqi officers tried to follow the same approach as the free officers in Egypt and their decisions, so they formed the organization of the free officers which confirms their impact on the Egyptian experience and that they are inspired by them. The leaders of the Free Officers Organization, Abdel KarimKassem and Abdel Salam Aref held secret contacts with the government of the revolution in Egypt, represented by the Minister of Interior of the United Arab Republic Abdul Hamid Al-Sarraj. The three met in (Ramtha) on the Syrian border and held a secret and urgent message to Gamal Abdel Nasser demanding the support of the United Arab Republic for the movement of officers in Iraq. The answer of the Egyptian president to the letter of the Iraqi officers was: "First, if they are truly serious, they must keep it secret even from me. Second, we can not help them with a plan because the plan can only be set by those who will implement it.
