KDP Representative affirms President Barzani’s deep connection to Halabja’s suffering
“No one feels the pain of the people of Halabja as much as President Barzani, and no one knows the value of this twice-martyred city like he does,” Sidad Barzani stated.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — In a heartfelt address during the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) election campaign in Halabja province, KDP President’s representative for the KDP Election Campaign Sidad Barzani emphasized the profound empathy President Barzani holds for the people of Halabja, a city marked by historical tragedy.
“No one feels the pain of the people of Halabja as much as President Barzani, and no one knows the value of this twice-martyred city like he does,” the representative stated.
“Halabja has become a symbol of the suffering and sorrow inflicted upon our people throughout history,” he added.
The representative highlighted Halabja's pivotal role in the Kurdish liberation movement, recalling its significance since the September Revolution.
“Halabja has been a stronghold against the enemy, with its people steadfastly supporting the KDP and the late Barzani,” he noted.
“We have not forgotten that Halabja, Hawraman, and Sharazoor played vital roles during the May Revolution, becoming arenas of resilience under President Massoud Barzani’s leadership,” he stressed.
He further stressed the unwavering support from the people of Hawraman, Halabja, and Sharazoor during tumultuous times, declaring, “The KDP and President Barzani will never forget the warm embrace of the people of Halabja. Following the uprising, they emerged as strong supporters of the KDP and its Peshmergas, as well as advocates for the legislative parliament of the Kurdistan Regional Government.”
The representative concluded by acknowledging the sacrifices made by the people of Halabja in their pursuit of freedom and independence.
“We understand your suffering. We know how crucial it is to alleviate the burden of genocide, chemical attacks, and the Anfal campaign by ensuring peace and prosperity for all,” he remarked.
