Statement by President Masoud Barzani

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

On the occasion of the reactivation of the Kurdistan Parliament, I congratulate the people of Kurdistan, the Parliament’s Presidency Board, and all political parties.

Two years after the Kurdistan Region’s elections, Parliament has been reactivated. I thank the members of parliament who took a stand and fulfilled their legal and national duties to restore the work of this constitutional institution.

The reactivation of Parliament is a step toward protecting and strengthening the Kurdistan Region. It is not directed against any person or party. Rather, it serves the supreme interests of the people of Kurdistan and the political process.

Now that Parliament has resumed its work, I call on the respected parties that did not participate in this process to join us. By working together, we can serve the people of Kurdistan and support the next steps in the political process.
