In his New Year’s statement, President Nechirvan Barzani extends greetings to the people of Kurdistan and Iraq, calling for a fresh start marked by unity, tolerance, and solidarity among all political forces and communities as 2026 begins. The President’s statement reads as follows:
I extend my warmest wishes for a happy New Year to the people of Kurdistan and all its communities, the families of our martyrs, the brave Peshmergas, the security forces, and all the people of Iraq and beyond. My sincere hope is that this New Year brings fulfilled aspirations, an end to crises, and opens doors to goodness and happiness for everyone.
Let us seize the arrival of the New Year as an opportunity to embark on a new chapter, where we set aside our conflicts and embrace a spirit of unity, tolerance, and solidarity among all forces, political parties, and communities. Our strength is rooted in mutual acceptance, coexistence, and collaboration, which are essential to safeguarding our achievements and ensuring our constitutional rights.
In Iraq, we aspire for the New Year to bring about fundamental solutions to our challenges, grounded in the constitution and genuine partnership. The Kurdistan Region remains steadfastly committed to dialogue and understanding, and will continue to be a pillar of peace and stability in the region, supporting peace wherever it may be needed in the world.
My fellow Kurdistanis,
Let us gaze toward the future with hope and optimism. We assure you that we will exert every effort to make 2026 a year dedicated to consolidating stability and enhancing the lives and welfare of our citizens. We have faith in the capabilities and vigor of our youth, as well as the dedication of the people of Kurdistan, to forge a brighter future.
Happy New Year to you all.
May you find happiness and prosperity.
