THANKED FOR THE WARM WELCOME
Speaking in Kurdish at the symposium, Mesud Barzani expressed his pleasure at attending the event. Thanking for the warm welcome he received, President Barzani described Melayi Ciziri as follows: "Sheikh Ahmed, who clearly demonstrates his mastery of Turkish, Persian, Arabic, and Kurdish languages in his poems and works, conveys his profound mystical knowledge in a simple language, especially in the collection known as 'Ahmediye.' It is noteworthy that Sheikh Ahmed, who is said to have reached the high rank of Fenafillah in the world of mysticism, describes God's justice in a plain style. Sheikh Ahmed, who is greatly respected by the local people and mystics, continues to inspire many with his vast wisdom and deep spirituality. Melaye Ciziri is a brilliant star that will never fade and a leader of the lovers of the path of truth. Ciziri's poems never become outdated; people want to listen to his poems now. The deeper you dive into Ciziri's poetry, the closer you get to him."
"FOR OPENING THE DOOR TO PEACE..."
In his speech, Barzani also shared his views on the ongoing process, expressing his gratitude to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the leader of the terrorist organization PKK, Abdullah Öcalan, stating, "We are very pleased with the new peace process that has started smoothly this time. Because the people, the parliament, and all political parties support the state. Here, I feel indebted to thank Mr. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the people of Turkey, and the parliament for opening the door to peace, and we believe this is the best door and the best option. I also congratulate Mr. Öcalan for taking a positive step. We emphasize that we support the peace process with all our strength and that we will do everything we can. Hopefully, positive results will be achieved."
