A few months back, there was a Miss Arab World Beauty Pageant in Egypt and among the young women participating in that pageant was Miss Iraq 2006 Claudia Hanna ... Well, turns out that that Pageant was not an unofficial one and that Hanna isn't Miss Iraq 2006 at all and she never participated in a Miss Iraq contest! What a mess!
The real Miss Iraq 2006 is a young lady by the name of Silva Sahagian ... This mix up has caused lots of trouble for the organizers of the unofficial pageant and even a huge law suit has been thrown in their faces by the organizers of the official Miss Arab World Beauty Pageant.
As for Miss Iraq 2007 ... The pageant was held during March & the winner of the title was Anais Catala ... So don't mix it up this time!

She looks ugly to be miss Iraq 2006!
I agree, they sooo need to see me.
If miss iraq gets to go through miss universe, then am enetering. I never even knew miss iraq existed. Man i know bare prettier iraqi girls than her. Like my cosands and friends. Am telling, there are lost of pretter girls in Iraq than her.
Anyway, Wlaeg, where is it held. don't tell me iraq cause i can't go there. And where can i find out more info.
Where is Miss Jordan, you should post anything about miss jordan,she is sooooo hot (I cant believe it)oh lala.
UGLY!!! :p
shes not that cute...
what the hell? She is UGLY! damn how can they pick her to represent us? hell no...
Silva wasn't the original Miss Iraq, she was one the runners-up, fourth I think. The queen and others as well as Silva recieved a lot of death threats for participating in such a contest.

Hi,
2006 Pageant was held in Iraq, Baghdad when Tamar won on April 5th and resigned on April 9th, I was a judge and Miss Iraq 1996.
they dont judge you on beauty alone, you need to be Charismatic and go through the swimsuit, evening wear etc
Miss Iraq 2007 was held in Turkey
organizers are Talat Model Management
I dont think Kurds and Shiites compete in such events.
here are pics of Miss Iraq 2007 can be found here http://claudia.hanna.tripod.com/
in the section that says official beauty queens is where you will find Anais, she is half french and her mother is an Iraqi Jew, beautiful girl.
Miss Iraq goes way back to 1947, it was never transformed into a TV production but survived and dropped by the Iraqi state organization for Tourism in 1988 and Edith took over until 2005 then in late 2005 it was assumed by Ahmed Kadret of Talat Model Management. based in Monaco, the agency that is.
Cheers
Alaa
Hey Alaa Abdul Hadi,
We all know who you are. We all know who "Ahmed Kadret" is, aka "Ahmed Talat". We all know you're full of shit.
For anyone who doesn't know who they are- Alaa Abdul Hadi and Talat and his sister are con artists who've been getting money for years by faking the whole Miss Iraq pageant. They give out names of Iraqi women who don't even know they've been nominated or 'selected' and sometimes they will scam one or two into posing with a banner and a crown. Bullshit.
That's why the Miss Iraq above is hideous- she's not actually Miss Iraq. And more bullshit- Talat Model Management is NOT based in Monaco- it doesn't exist.
Claudia Hanna was not chosen by Ahmed Talat, nor did he discover her.
Cheers
I love your shiit ite comments, you startle me, i think you should be focusing on your new nation to be, THE REPUBLIC OF SHITISTAN. I love your logic and reason. Its amazing how far you apes can go and start a conspiracy theory.
first of all i am not the owners sister , I won the event in 1996 and thats all. The event was run by Edith until 2005 and then Ahmed bought it and runs it. As for Silva, she is beautiful, charming, well educated and comes from a great family. I never stated that Talat Models discovered Claudia, I simply said that Claudia never won any miss iraq contest nor did she compete in one, she simply entered a Miss Arab world ( an unoffcial version) coz the organizer of MAW is lebanese and if you search www.missarabworld.com you will see that her name is not there.
second Talat Models is registered in Monaco and runs in Dubai.
Thank you again for your kind comments
