President Nechirvan Barzani wishes Christians a Merry Christmas

On the occasion of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ, I extend my warmest congratulations to our Christian sisters and brothers in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq and to all those who celebrate this holiday. I wish them a peaceful and prosperous holiday and hope that this festivity will bring about peace, stability and prosperity, for everyone.

On this sacred occasion, we reiterate that the Kurdistan Region as always remains the cradle of peaceful coexistence, tolerance and stability for all communities, as it will continue unabated towards peace, serenity and stability in the region.

The Christians in Kurdistan Region are the benefactors and an ancient community who have coexisted with other communities in harmony and peace and played a role in protecting and developing the Kurdistan Region. Their festivities and occasions are also celebrated by all communities in Kurdistan Region.

Merry Christmas to all.

Nechirvan Barzani
