President Nechirvan Barzani sends Christmas and New Year greetings to the Armenian Orthodox Christians.

I offer my warmest congratulations to our Christian brothers and sisters of the Church of Armenian Orthodox in Kurdistan Region, Iraq and the rest of the world. I hope that this beautiful celebration will bring joy and prosperity, peace and stability to you all, as well as to our region and to the people of Kurdistan.

The Kurdistan Region is the home of tolerance, coexistence, rights and freedom for all its ethnic and religious communities. On this occasion, we emphasize safeguarding and strengthening these values and cultures, as we all work together to deepen them.

I wish all of you happy holidays and a prosperous year.

Nechirvan Barzani
