Kurdistan 01:57 PM - 2024-03-14The city of Halabja
The foundation stone for the Halabja Gate was laid in
response to a request from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) faction in
Baghdad. The Iraqi prime minister decided to cover the costs.
Chro Hama Sharif, a member of the PUK faction in the Iraqi
parliament representing Halabja province, told PUKMEDIA: "Prime Minister
Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani has decided to allocate 1 billion dinars for Halabja
province at my request as a member of the PUK faction and with the support of
Dr. Khalid Shwani, the Iraqi Justice Minister."
"We are making this
request in order to serve the residents of Halabja, particularly as we approach
the anniversary of the chemical attack on Halabja, and the funding has been
provided for a project in Halabja province," she added.
PUK representatives in Baghdad have invited the Iraqi
president, prime minister, speaker of parliament, and Iraqi party leaders to
visit Halabja in commemoration of the city's chemical attack.
"Unlike previous years, we will commemorate the
tragedy this year by formally laying the cornerstone of a major project at the
city's entrance," she continued. This gesture is
a response to the people of Halabja's desire for tangible progress rather than
mere symbolic actions and promises."
Chro continued, "We conferred with the governor,
deputies, and mayor of the city before deciding to use the funds that the Iraqi
prime minister granted the city for the Halabja Gate project."
On March 16, 2024, the 36th anniversary of the Halabja
chemical attack will be observed. This year, the Iraqi Prime Minister approved
a project in the city worth 1 billion dinars, as requested by the PUK faction
in Baghdad. On March 14, 2024, the ceremonial act of laying the foundation
stone for the project occurred.
