Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani offers his warmest wishes to Christians in the Kurdistan Region and around the world on the occasion of Easter. Below is the message:

I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the Christian sisters and brothers in Kurdistan Region, Iraq and around world on the Feast of Easter, Resurrection of Christ, (peace be upon him). I hope this celebration will bring about prosperity and good health for everyone around the world, especially protection from COVID-19 and other illnesses.

We observe Easter this year at a time when the Kurdistan Region, like the rest of the world, is in difficult circumstances due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, it is highly important that all of us follow the protective measures and stay at home to ensure public safety. I hope future celebrations will be held in better conditions.

On this occasion, we reiterate that the Kurdistan Region will remain the home of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and mutual respect for all faiths and ethnicities. We will all work together to safeguard and solidify this noble culture and way of life in the Kurdistan Region.

I wish everyone a Happy Easter.

May God protect us all.
