President Nechirvan Barzani Congratulates the People of Halabja

I extend my sincere congratulations to the people of Halabja and the Kurdistan Region on the Iraqi Parliament’s decision to grant Halabja provincial status. I also express my appreciation to the Iraqi Parliament and all those in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq who contributed to this long-awaited achievement. This milestone brings us great joy, reflecting the collective happiness of the people of Kurdistan.

To enhance services for the people of Halabja, we initiated the process of securing its provincial status early on in the Kurdistan Region. The successful completion of the necessary procedures in Iraq and its official recognition as a province acknowledge the sacrifices and hardships endured by Halabja and its resilient people. We are hopeful that this development will lead to improvements in living conditions, welfare, prosperity, and overall progress in all sectors. It is our collective duty to serve Halabja with unwavering commitment.

On this significant occasion, we honor the martyrs of Halabja and all of Kurdistan, sending our heartfelt respects to their souls.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
