On behalf of the Federation of Youth Clubs of Armenia NGO and Kurdish-Armenian Friendship Organization, we offer our deepest condolences on the passing of former President of Iraq, Founder and Secretary General of Patriotic Union of Kurdistan Jalal Talabani.

Jalal Talabani will be surely remembered for his unequivocal commitment and continuous efforts combating dictatorship and contributing to democracy and peace at global scale. He was the one bringing equality between Kurds and Arabs and the protecting the rights of all nations living in Iraq.

He was the one considering the 21st century as the period of politics, parliament and peace.

He will remain in the memory of his nation as a true patriot.

The loss of Mr. Talabani is a major loss for Iraq and Kurdistan.

His spirit will remain forever.

May he rest in peace.
