On Friday, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani commemorated the third anniversary of the 2023 earthquake in Turkiye, expressing solidarity with the victims and all those affected by the disaster.

In a post on X, Barzani commended Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government for “their leadership and dedication to the reconstruction of the affected areas.”
