Kurdistan 09:27 PM - 2024-04-23

The Golden Bla Award Ceremony

The Golden Bla Award was presented to 10 exemplary individuals in the presence of Bafel Jalal Talabani, President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan; Dr. Abdullatif Rashid, President of Iraq; Ms. Galawezh, the wife of the intellectual Ibrahim Ahmed; and Ms. Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, the first lady of Iraq. The event was attended by a significant number of guests from all four parts of Kurdistan.

The Golden Award is presented to ten distinguished individuals from the four parts of Kurdistan who have emerged as iconic figures in diverse domains.

After the start of the event, Shanaz Ibrahim Ahmed, the First Lady of Iraq, and the head of the Ibrahim Ahmed Foundation stated: "I offer my apologies to those individuals who are deserving of recognition, but due to the sheer magnitude of their numbers, it is not possible for us to present awards to all of them."

"The Kurdish people are oppressed and have few friends. Currently, during this critical historical era, we are experiencing a sense of danger for our Region. Regrettably, we observe a lack of significant measures being taken to address the issues at hand," she further said.

President Bafel's proposal to Ibrahim Ahmed Foundation

Following the presentation of the awards, President Bafel Jalal Talabani proposed to the Ibrahim Ahmad Foundation that one of the golden awards be given to martyr Comrade Abdo for the upcoming year. 

"This is because martyr Comrade Abdo is a significant martyr of Kurdistan and deserves recognition through this award," he said.

He also said: "It is also a support to all individuals in Syria and every Kurd who is actively engaged in the fight for an honourable Kurdistan."

"Nevertheless, this message is directed against our rivals and those collaborating with them, which we tell them (we are Kurds and we will always be Kurds)," he said.
