On the first day of the Ramadan feast, Kurdish President Massoud Barzani
visited Kurdish Peshmerga forces on the frontline in Kirkuk.
On Monday, Barzani visited the region along with Kurdish Peshmerga
officials. He told the forces that they had made history and shown great
courage in fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) in Iraq
and the disputed territories.
“It’s my responsibility to come and visit you all on the first day of
the feast and on behalf of all Kurdish people congratulate you,” said
Barzani.
Since the start of last month, Peshmerga forces have controlled the
disputed regions of Iraq, following attacks by ISIS and the withdrawal
of the Iraqi army.
He also said that currently Peshmerga forces have a historical role in Iraq.
“Peshmerga are making history and building the future of the Kurdish nation and that’s a big honor,” added Barzani.
“Peshmerga sacrifice their lives to enable Kurds to live in peace and
freedom, the Kurdish cause is nearing its completion and victory,”
Barzani told Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk.
