On the occasion of the 78th anniversary of the founding of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the birth anniversary of our national leader, President Barzani, I extend my warmest congratulations to President Barzani and all members and supporters of the party, families and relatives of the proud martyrs and Anfal victims, heroic Peshmerga, and patriotic Kurdistanis.
From its first day of establishment by the leader of the Kurdish liberation movement, the immortal Barzani, the party has always been a school of Kurdish nationalism and patriotism, and a party for all different classes and components of Kurdistan.
The party has a history full of sovereignty, sacrifice, and defense of the national rights of the people of Kurdistan. Today, thanks to the far-sighted and capable leadership of the President, and the dedication and support of the party’s members, supporters, and public, our party is one of the largest, strongest, and most influential parties in Kurdistan, Iraq, and the region. It plays an important and active role in protecting the constitutional entity and achieving the national gains of the people of Kurdistan.
The party is the only hope of the people of Kurdistan that does not allow plans to weaken the Kurdistan Region to succeed, and it is a fierce defender of the land and rights of the people of Kurdistan. We expect party members and supporters to participate in the Kurdistan Parliament elections with all sincerity, so that, as always, the party will be the first force and pioneer of Kurdistan, because the success of the party is the success, progress, and prosperity of Kurdistan.
On the anniversary of August 16 and the anniversary of the party’s founding, greetings to the founder of the party, Mustafa Barzani, and the ever-remembered leader Idris Barzani, and all the martyrs of Kurdistan’s freedom path.
