Erbil, Kurdistan Region, April 4, 2022
Today, on the 42nd anniversary of the genocide against the Feyli Kurds, we pay tribute to the victims and remember all the martyrs of Kurdistan.
Hundreds of thousands of Feyli Kurds were systematically targeted and persecuted by the former Iraqi regime in a heinous genocidal campaign, because of the Feyli Kurds’ adherence to their Kurdish identity and their support of the rights of the people of Kurdistan. Disappearances, forced relocation, and the revocation of the Feyli Kurds’ citizenship were carried out systematically under the racist policies of the former Iraqi regime.
The Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal has recognized the genocide against the Feyli Kurds. On this day, we urge the Iraqi Federal Government to serve justice for the victims, and compensate the Feyli Kurds for the unlawful confiscation of their properties and revocation of their citizenship.
Tribute to the memory of the victims.
Nechirvan Barzani
The President of the Kurdistan Region
