الخلاف بشأن خور العديد بين السعودية و أبوظبي 1934-1952 و الموقف البريطاني منه

Abstract EN

When oil discovered , many border problems started to appear in the Arabian Gulf area.

Orre of these problems was the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Abu-Dhabi over Khor Al-Odaid during 1934-1952.The official talks on the border issue started between the Saudi government and the British government , which represented Abu-Dhabi according to the treaties of protection of the 19 th century.The period under study witnessed many official and non-official meetings and talks between the two sides.

Many proposals and solutions were submitted,but all negotiations failed to arrive at a fair settlement.

Al-Dammam conference in Saudi Arabia was held in 1953 to discuss the border problems .

The problem of Khor Al-Odaid was one of many border conflicts that were not settled between the Saudi and British government such as the conflict over Beraimi Oasis.

Britain worked to prolong the border conflicts to maintain the so-called status quo policy which serves the British interests and the area .
