On the passing of journalist and head of the Baghdad office of Rudaw Media Network, the late Halkawt Aziz, who lost his life in a tragic traffic accident, I extend my condolences to his family, relatives, and colleagues.
The late Halkawt Aziz was a capable, dedicated, and active journalist who rendered great service to the field of media. I pray to Almighty God to bless his soul with His mercy and compassion and to grant patience, comfort, and peace to all who mourn his loss.
