On the occasion of Eid al-Adha, I warmly congratulate all Muslims in Kurdistan, Iraq and the world, especially the families of fallen heroes and our brave Peshmergas. I wish everyone a happy Eid. May this occasion bring everyone joy, happiness and prosperity.

On this day, let us embrace the messages of Eid on tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation. Let us turn the Eid into an opportunity for mutual acceptance, unity and solidarity, and turn the page towards peace, reconciliation and a better future together.

Let us make this occasion in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region a new beginning for cooperation and joint work among all forces, parties and communities in the country, and turn it further into an opportunity to solve the problems, overcome the difficulties and achieve peace.

Happy holidays to everyone.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
