Erbil, Kurdistan Region, April 16, 2024

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our Yezidi brethren and fellow citizens in Kurdistan, Iraq, and across the globe as they celebrate the Yezidi New Year. May this holiday season bring you peace, joy, and prosperity, and may the coming year be filled with happiness and success.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the Yezidi community, advocating for their rights, and making every effort to ensure the safety and well-being of all Yezidis. The Office for the Rescue of Abducted Yezidis will continue to work tirelessly. Our efforts will persist without faltering.

I wish you a Happy New Year.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
