Honorable President Masoud Barzani,
On behalf of the Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation (KDC), we extend our warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency on the 64th anniversary of that unforgettable day when you chose the path of the warrior and pledged to remain a Peshmerga for the rest of your life.
Mr. President, the noble aspiration you embraced on May 20, 1962, has today become a history defined by glory for an entire nation.
Through your example, we have learned the true meaning of loyalty and devotion to the sacred blood that serves as the foundation of our people’s freedom and dignity.
When you express your profound gratitude for the holy duty of the Peshmerga with such humility, honoring the sacrifices of those heroes, we realize more than ever that you are not only a leader, but a father and a steadfast guardian for every struggle in this homeland.
For those of us in the Kurdistani diaspora, our greatest and most authentic source of pride is that after 64 years of tireless struggle, our leader continues to serve with the same spirit of the revolutionary days in the mountains, standing as the shield protecting our dignity and our national achievements.
We pray to Almighty God for your long life and health, that you may continue to lead our nation as a Peshmerga and a great statesman.
Ismail Kamil
President of the Kurdistani Diaspora Confederation
