Kurdistan Democratic Party Deputy Leader Masrour Barzani congratulated Voice of Kurdistan Radio staff on Sunday for the station's 62nd anniversary. He praised the broadcaster as a cornerstone of Kurdish media and resistance efforts.
Barzani described the station as carrying revolutionary voices and Peshmerga stories throughout Kurdish history. He urged current employees to continue conveying truth and defending Kurdish rights.
Voice of Kurdistan Radio began operations on Sept. 27, 1963, during armed resistance against Iraqi regimes. The station broadcast from remote mountain locations despite limited resources and government interference.
The shortwave transmissions reached audiences across Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Europe, and the Soviet Union. Families secretly gathered around radios to hear messages of hope and solidarity during decades of struggle.
