by H.E. Massoud Barzani, President of the Kurdistan

"In the Name of God, the Merciful and the
Compassionate,
Mr Nechirvan Barzani and Mr Omer Fattah,
Now that the Kurdistan National Assembly - which
represents all the people of the Kurdistan Region –
has approved your appointments and has asked you to
form a unified government, I also ask you to form a
unified government, which is the wish of all the
people of Kurdistan and of Kurdistan's friends.
First, I congratulate you and wish you success in
your important task. Be assured that I will give you
my full support in achieving your mission and
performing your duty, which is to serve the people
and the country. |

I wish to draw your attention to the following
important points.
I hope that you will make wise and prudent choices
in selecting your ministers, who should have the
qualities and abilities necessary to carry out their
work.
I ask you to do your utmost to ensure Kurdistan's
security and ensure that it becomes a stronger
Region day by day. This is a matter of pride for all
us.
In serving the people, I hope you will establish the
proper legal and constitutional institutions in the
Kurdistan Region. You must strive to provide
services to all of the Region's cities and villages,
especially those that have not yet been joined to
the Kurdistan Region such as Kirkuk, Khaneqin,
Shengal, Makhmur and other areas. I hope that you
will consider creating a proper mechanism for
cooperating with the federal government in Baghdad.
I ask you to give your full support to the proud
families of those who gave their lives as well as to
our heroic Peshmerga forces. Above and beyond
political party interests, this government should
promote the people's national rights. This
government is representative of the people, being a
unified government with members from both major
political parties, the KDP and PUK, which have made
great sacrifices to bring us to where we are today.
But henceforth we must embark on a new type of
struggle, because our duty now is to establish
strong institutions.
I ask you to place considerable importance on the
welfare of the Peshmerga. I want to thank for their
continuous struggle the two main parties and all the
other parties in the Kurdistan coalition, and just
as they were ready to make sacrifices for our cause,
I ask both main parties to take the lead in the
establishment of institutions, in the same selfless
spirit.
And I ask all the other parties to support this
government. I ask all the Peshmerga and members of
all the coalition parties to regard themselves as
soldiers under this government's command, acting at
the service of the people and the country.
Once again, I congratulate you and I wish you
success."
