In a message of condolences, President Nechirvan Barzani expressed sadness over the passing of Erbil Governor Dr. Firsat Sofi. Below is the message.
It is with great sadness and heavy heart that I learned of the passing of Dr. Firsat Sofi, the Governor of Erbil. I offer my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Dr. Firsat’s family, relatives, and all the people of Erbil Governorate and Kurdistan.
During his school years, Dr. Firsat Sofi played an important role in Kurdistan Students’ Union. He was involved in social activism long before entering the Kurdistan Parliament and serving as a competent legal expert and a dedicated member of the parliament. Dr. Firsat’s competence, honesty, patriotism and devotion made him a beloved public figure.
After Dr. Firsat took office as Erbil’s Governor, he tried whole-heartedly to address and resolve people’s issues. He had many projects for the further development of the city of Erbil and all the other areas in the Governorate. Unfortunately, death did not allow him to serve Erbil and Kurdistan further.
May Almighty God bestow mercy upon his soul and grant comfort and patience to everyone. The works and devotion of Dr. Firsat Sofi will forever remain in our memory.
