France
GreetingA typical greeting is the handshake, which should be light and quick. Every meeting begins and ends with a handshake.
Iraq
IntroductionThe surnames of Iraqis are often quite complex, as they include the entire patriarchal lineage: the person's birth name, the name of their father, the name of their grandfather, the clan name, and the name of the ethnic group. A person's full surname can consist of up to six names.
