President Nechirvan Barzani congratulates the Kakayis on Eid al-Qultas

January 3, 2026

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Kakayi (Yarsani) brothers and sisters in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and around the globe on the occasion of Eid al-Qultas (Three Nights' Day). May your holiday be filled with peace and joy.

Our Kakayi citizens, as an ancient and indigenous community of this nation, have consistently exemplified tolerance, peacefulness, and patriotism. Throughout history, they have preserved their identity, religion, and culture, and have made sacrifices to defend Kurdistan despite numerous challenges and hardships.

On this special occasion, we reaffirm to all our Kakayi citizens that the Kurdistan Region will continue to be a haven of peace and coexistence, serving as an umbrella that unites all communities. We remain committed to supporting their rights and safeguarding their religious and social identity.

Wishing everyone a joyful and happy Qultas.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
