It is a source of great joy and happiness to witness the enthusiastic participation of a large number of Kurdistani citizens in the Newroz celebration held in the German city of Cologne.
The participation of this large number of beloved Kurdistanis and adherents of the path of Kurdishness and patriotism in this gathering is a clear indication of the strength and vitality of the Kurdish communities abroad. It proves that our people abroad represent a powerful force, always ready to support the legitimate cause of the people of Kurdistan in international forums and before world public opinion.
Although untrustworthy hands attempted to incite chaos and sabotage at the Cologne celebration and to distort and derail the message of the Newroz mass gathering in Cologne during its coverage, the authentic voice of the participants thwarted these attempts, which failed. The path of loyalty to the homeland and belonging to Kurdistan prevailed and succeeded.
From here, I thank all the loyal and honorable individuals, one by one, for their active participation and patriotic spirit, conveying the message of peace embodied by their people to the world through this magnificent gathering. I salute them for this, and I wish them continued joy and happiness, and that their holidays be filled with goodness.
Greetings to all the fighters, freedom defenders, and loyal Kurds, wherever they are in the world.
