:: Image Sources and Specifics
To the best of my knowledge, all images within this site were gathered from public domain sources. Most images come from government sources such as CIA, NASA and NOAA.
The icon images (GIF animation, books, stars etc.) available on this site have been collected from various online sources believed to be in the public domain.
All the maps and flags images were produced by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (World Factbook), unless otherwise indicated. The Factbook is in the public domain. The maps and charts scanned from "Atlas of the Middle East", published in January 1993 by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency are Courtesy of The General Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin.
Images of the globe and satellite images are all courtesy of NASA. All of these images are also in the public domain.
The site provides links to most of the public domain images and articles because of space limitations. Keep in mind that links change rapidly. The most common cause of broken link has to do with webmaters renaming or moving web pages to another location. However, it is possible to find the sources using various search engines. Nothing is perfect in life and sometimes you must do a little work to find what you are seeking.
The site is maintained and links validated quarterly. Please let us know, which website in Pars Times was not accessible. Every attempt will be made to fix broken links as quick as possible.
