Erbil, Kurdistan Region, April 16, 2024
Today, this April 16, we solemnly commemorate the tragic chemical attack that occurred 37 years ago in Balisan, Sheikh Wasan, and Khoshnawti Valley. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the fallen heroes, their families, and all the victims who suffered under the atrocities committed by the previous Iraqi regime. May their souls find eternal peace, and may we never forget the pain they endured.
The chemical attack on this area, known for its history of resistance against tyranny and oppression, marked the tragic start of a series of atrocities against the people of Kurdistan. This heinous act will forever stain the perpetrators' legacy and serve as a symbol of the enduring struggle of the people of Kurdistan.
The courageous and patriotic people of Balisan, Sheikh Wasan, and Khoshnawti Valley, along with all the people of Kurdistan, not only persevered in the midst of chemical attacks and environmental devastation, but also stood firm in their fight against tyranny and authoritarianism. They are truly deserving of the highest level of support and attention.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the dedicated individuals who selflessly assisted the victims in the aftermath of the chemical attack, bravely putting themselves at risk to care for the injured. May the souls of the fallen heroes find eternal peace.

President of the Kurdistan Region
