Full Statement by Nechirvan Barzani, Vice President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party:
As we commemorate the 49th anniversary of the outbreak of the Gulan Revolution, we respectfully and proudly remember the immortal martyrs and all the brave heroes who gave their lives and shed their blood for the cause of freedom in this great uprising.
As a continuation of the historic September Revolution led by the immortal Barzani, the Gulan Revolution stood as a profound and enduring symbol of a people’s will—one that refused to surrender to injustice or occupation.

On this occasion, we reiterate that it is our collective duty to safeguard the legacy of the martyrs and the constitutional and federal achievements of our people. Let the memory of the Gulan Revolution inspire us toward greater unity and partnership, so that, through cooperation and joint action, we can take firm steps toward a brighter future.
Glory and honor to the memory of the Gulan Revolution.
Peace be upon the pure souls of our martyrs.
Salute to all the heroic Peshmerga of Kurdistan.
