On the occasion of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Christians in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and around the world. It is my sincere hope that this holiday brings peace and solace to all, and that everyone enjoys a happy celebration and a year filled with joy and success.

We would like to reassure all our Christian citizens that we are committed to upholding their rights and will persist in our efforts to strengthen our shared values. Furthermore, we aim to enhance the culture of religious and ethnic diversity, fostering coexistence, mutual acceptance, and tolerance among all communities. Kurdistan will continue to serve as a peaceful sanctuary for everyone, free from discrimination.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
