He added: "On days such as these, more than three decades ago, our peaceful Kurdish citizens in cities, villages, and towns were subjected to the most heinous forms of killing and persecution, in blatant violation of all values, customs, and laws."

He continued: "As we recall those criminal campaigns against our Kurdish people, we take pride today in the unity of our country and the brotherhood among its components and nationalities, under a democratic, constitutional, and pluralistic system in which all Iraqis live with dignity, free from discrimination, targeting, or division."

In conclusion he said: "Mercy and eternal remembrance to Iraq’s martyrs, and disgrace upon tyrants, criminals, and killers."
