President Masoud Barzani's congratulation statement on the occasion of the Assyrian Babylonian New Year

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

 

On the occasion of the Assyrian Babylonian New Year and the Akitu feast, we extend our warmest congratulations and blessings to the Chaldean Syriac-Assyrian people in Kurdistan, Iraq and around the world. I wish that the new year will be a new beginning of goodness, happiness, blessing and spreading peace and harmony in the region and around the world.

 

On this occasion, we assure the Chaldean-Syriac-Assyrian sisters and brothers and all other components of Kurdistan that the principle of humanity unites us and that our destiny, happiness and sorrow are linked to each other. Therefore, we must all adhere to the principle of coexistence and brotherhood among all religious and national components and make it richer.

 

Wishing you to spend all holidays and occasions in peace, pleasure and happiness.

 

Masoud Barzan
