Shafaq News/ President Nechirvan Barzani on Saturday extended greetings to the Kurdistan Students Union on the 70th anniversary of its formation.

"I congratulate you, all the members of the union, and all the students of Kurdistan on the 70th anniversary of the Kurdistan Students Union," said the region's president in a statement.
