April 5, 2026

As we observe Easter, I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to Christians in the Kurdistan Region, across Iraq, and throughout the world. May this festive occasion bring happiness and serenity to all.

On this special occasion, we reaffirm that the Kurdistan Region will continue to be a beacon of coexistence, unity, and mutual acceptance among all religious and ethnic groups. Our Christian citizens are a vital part of Kurdistan’s community and have a rich history of collaboration and shared struggle with the people of Kurdistan.

Wishing everyone a joyful Easter and a peaceful holiday.

President of the Kurdistan Region
