Message from President Barzani on the Anniversary of the Founding of the Lalish Center

In the name of God, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

On the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the founding of the Lalish Center, I extend my warm congratulations to the esteemed management, members, and staff of the Center, as well as to all our Yazidi brothers and sisters.

It is a source of great pride and happiness that, through the dedicated efforts of its committed staff and Yazidi intellectuals over the past years, the Lalish Center has provided valuable services to the Yazidi community, contributed to the culture of the people of Kurdistan, and helped preserve Yazidi traditions.

While expressing my appreciation, I hope for the continued success and further progress of the Lalish Center, and I wish peace and happiness to all Yazidi brothers and sisters.

May you always remain in goodness and happiness.

Masoud Barzani
