Prime Minister Masrour Barzani Honors 63rd Anniversary of September Revolution
Erbil, Kurdistan Region – On Wednesday, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), Masrour Barzani, delivered a commemorative message marking the 63rd anniversary of the Great September Revolution, an iconic uprising in Kurdish history led by the late Mulla Mustafa Barzani.
In his statement, Prime Minister Barzani hailed the September Revolution as a "national, embracing, and encompassing revolution across Kurdistan." He reflected on the pivotal role the revolution played in defending the Kurdish people and their homeland during a time of intense oppression and hardship. The revolution, led by Mulla Mustafa Barzani, united Kurds from all walks of life, regardless of age, background, or social status.
“Too many parties, communities, tribes, and clans, along with religious leaders and scholars, pledged their support to the revolution,” Barzani remarked. He further emphasized how the revolution became a national symbol for Kurds across the four parts of Kurdistan—south, north, east (Rojhalat), and west (Rojava)—with the southern region playing a particularly vital role.
63 years on, the values of justice, unity and resilience from the September Revolution continue to guide us in serving our people and safeguarding our national gains.

He concluded with a tribute to the martyrs, saying, “Greetings and salutes to the martyrs’ souls in the September Revolution and all the martyrs of Kurdistan.”
