April 15, 2026

I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to Yezidis in the Kurdistan Region, across Iraq, and throughout the world on the occasion of the Yezidi New Year. May this holiday bring peace and happiness to everyone. I hope that this New Year marks the beginning of a year filled with success and security.

On this special occasion, we renew our commitment to our Yezidi community, affirming that the Kurdistan Region will remain a land of coexistence, forgiveness, and mutual respect for all communities. We will stand firmly behind their legitimate rights and aspirations.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wishing you all a happy New Year.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
