In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the Kurdistan people’s uprising, I extend my warmest congratulations to the families of the honorable martyrs, to the brave Peshmerga, to the beloved people of Kurdistan, and to all patriots, fighters, and free individuals who played a role in achieving this valuable accomplishment for our people.
