Dear Mr. Barzani,
It is my pleasure to extend to you and the Kurdish people my congratulations
on the

father, Mulla Mustapha Barzani.
I share your hope that Iraqi Kurds can enjoy the benefits
of democracy.
I support and encourage efforts to build democratic institutions and a

The Honorable Masoud Barzani
President
Kurdish Democratic Party
Salahedin, Iraq
Dear Mr. Barzani:
It is with pleasure
that we salute you and the Kurdish people on this 55th Anniversary of the
establishment of the Kurdish Democratic
Party, the party that your late father, the legendary
Mulla Mustapha Barzani, established
in order to give a voice for those who for too long have
been ignored and voiceless.
On this occasion
we wish to affirm our support for your efforts in building democratic
institutions and civil society in
areas under your administration in Iraqi Kurdistan. We
further support the no fly zone
as a safe haven for the Kurdish people and a fair share of the
natural resources of the country.
We wish you a happy Anniversary!
Sincerely,
Michael G.
