ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Several university professors are collaborating on a book documenting the nature of life, customs, and monuments of Erbil, a project the Governor of Erbil has described as the most important material document for chronicling the history of the city.
On Thursday, Erbil Governor Omed Khoshnaw met with a group of university professors who are compiling documents and historical sources on Erbil’s life, customs, and monuments.
In a statement, Governor Khoshnaw expressed gratitude to the professors for their honorable work, noting Erbil's rich history spanning thousands of years and its numerous ancient monuments.
These include the Erbil Citadel, Qalinj Agha Hill, Kilik Mishik Hill, and many other historical sites.
“Erbil and the Kurdistan Region are among the richest areas in the world in terms of history and archaeology, hosting the oldest people and the oldest agricultural village in the world,” said Governor Khoshnaw.
“However, it has not been possible to fully utilize these important historical monuments to attract tourists and develop the tourism sector. This book will serve as the most important material document for writing the history of a living city like Erbil. Your work is part of that sacred duty.”
The professors participating in the project shared their insights and exchanged information with Governor Khoshnaw during the meeting, highlighting the significance of their contributions to preserving and promoting Erbil's historical heritage.
