President Bafel Jalal Talabani

On the 48th anniversary of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan's (PUK) founding and the 47th anniversary of the beginning of the new Kurdish revolution, Bafel Jalal Talabani, the PUK's president, has released a statement: "We face significant obstacles as Kurdistan navigates a delicate time. Only cooperation and solidarity can ensure the region's strength and survival. Let the welfare and life of our people be our top priorities."

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the beloved Kurdish people, the proud relatives of the martyrs, on the 48th anniversary of the founding of the PUK and the 47th anniversary of the beginning of the new revolution of our people.

I extend my warmest wishes to President Mam Jalal, our leader, the PUK's founding members, and the revolution's driving forces. You fought courageously, and we owe you our gratitude for your magnificent history.


Today is the day for us to reaffirm our commitment to the martyrs' sacrifices and the unwavering principles of the PUK, which include consolidating (peace, democracy, human rights, and self-determination).

We face significant obstacles as Kurdistan navigates a delicate time. Only cooperation and solidarity can ensure the region's strength and survival. Let the welfare and life of our people be our top priorities.

We want dialogue and compromise to serve as the foundation for problem-solving, and by working together, we can steer Kurdistan away from self-imposition and toward a brighter future. 

To better serve the Kurdish people, the PUK hasalways taken the initiative to coordinate efforts, fortify democratic and governmental institutions, and widen the sphere of freedom. We sincerely believe in collaborating to solve problems and advance the political process. We must put the disagreements behind us, work together to build a more secure future, and uphold the standard of living we promised our people.

The PUK has continuously advocated for solidarity and cooperation because we firmly believe that our strength is contingent on our ability to collaborate. For this reason, we have made every effort to uphold our legal rights and serve as genuine Kurdistan Region delegates in Baghdad. We have attempted to overcome obstacles and will continue to strive with our Iraqi partners. We aspire to secure a better future for the people and the nation through sincere cooperation and expanding harmony.

We pledge to the valued Kurdistani people, the proud families of the martyrs, and all devoted PUK members that we will not allow the PUK to stray from its sacredness, and we will guard the future of your struggling party with our spirit. The PUK has been and will remain your permanent home.

May President Mam Jalal's spirit and the souls of all other Kurdish freedom fighters rest in peace.
