After welcoming the guests, he explained that the purpose of this event was not just to remember the past but to learn from it and take lessons from the struggles and sacrifices of our people.

 The Rector of the university said: “The event of February 1st was one of the most painful events in the modern history of the Kurdistan Region. It showed that the enemies of the Kurdish people did not differentiate between any religious, ethnic, national, ideological, or political groups. Therefore, it was important to remember this event as a national lesson for students, youth, and everyone to learn from the past, protect the homeland today, and plan for the future.”
