As we begin 2017, Kurdistan is approaching a fundamental positive turning point in its existence. After the defeat of the Islamic State, and based on the remarkable efforts of the Kurdish Regional Government and the heroes of the Peshmerga, the people of our troubled country will have a historic opportunity to embrace the well-established principle of self-determination and build for themselves a prosperous and peaceful future, in partnership with their neighbors. The AUK Foundation has an important role to play in this process, providing essential financial support for a University that is already establishing its reputation as a leading center of academic excellence in the region.
