Erbil, Kurdistan Region, October 6, 2020

On the occasion of the Yazidi Jamayi holidays (Eda Hechiya), I congratulate all our Yazidi sisters and brothers in Kurdistan and around the world. I wish them joyful holidays and hope that future occasions will be held in better conditions.

This year’s Jamayi holidays are observed without celebrations, in the absence of the late Baba Sheikh, the Religious Leader of the Yazidi compatriots, may he rest in peace. We salute Baba Sheikh’s memory with profound respect and appreciation as we remember his works and services for the Yazidi people.

On this occasion, we reassure the families of the abducted Yazidis that we will continue to do our best to locate their loved ones and bring them back to their families and work to uncover the fate of the missing others.

Once again Happy Jamayi holiday to everyone. I wish you all happiness and prosperity.

Nechirvan Barzani
Kurdistan Region President
