Prime Minister Masrour Barzani issued a statement on the 46th anniversary of the Genocide of the Feyli Kurds. The following is the full text of his message:

Today marks the 46th anniversary of the Genocide of the Feyli Kurds, in which thousands of Feyli Kurds were killed, disappeared, and displaced by the former Ba’athist regime.

Once again, we remind the federal government of its moral, legal, and constitutional responsibility to provide reparations to the victims of the Genocide of the Feyli Kurds, the chemical weapons attacks, the Anfal Genocide, and all the victims of the former Iraqi regime.

On this somber occasion, we pay tribute to the souls of the martyrs of the Genocide of the Feyli Kurds and all the martyrs of Kurdistan.
