On the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the Lalesh Cultural Centre, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to its dedicated staff and to all members of our Yezidi community. I commend the Centre’s efforts, services, and contributions. My sincere gratitude goes to the management and all employees for their hard work. I wish them continued success in their endeavors.

On this occasion, I reaffirm my unwavering support for the initiatives and activities of the Lalesh Cultural Centre. I remain committed to supporting its mission to promote Kurdish culture, particularly Yezidi culture, as a vital and enriching part of our shared Kurdish heritage.

I also take this opportunity to express my steadfast support for my Yezidi brothers and sisters, as well as for all communities in Kurdistan, regardless of faith or ethnicity. I am committed to defending their rights, and I envision a vibrant Kurdistan where acceptance and peaceful coexistence prevail for all.

Nechirvan Barzani
