Iraqis celebrated Thursday the 101st anniversary of the founding of the Iraqi Army, established on January 6, 1921, as several Iraqi officials sent congratulatory messages to the army on this occasion.

In a statement, the Iraqi Ministry of Defense touched on the heroism of the Iraqi Army whose "blood of martyrs paved the path to victory," not only in Iraq but in the entire Arab world.

The statement read that the Iraq army has developed over the past years, becoming one of the best in the world in terms of equipment.

The Iraqi Armed Forces "defeated terror, and will protect Iraqi’s identity," he tweeted.

We salute our heroic Army on its 101st anniversary, a tribute to all our armed forces who fought to defend Iraq, and protect its borders. Our Army preserves the independence of Iraq. They defeated terror, and will protect Iraqi’s identity.

For his part, the Head of Al-Fatah Alliance Hadi Al-Amiri congratulated the Iraqi army, reiterating his support "to reinforce the law and preserve the prestige of the state."

Al-Amiri paid homage to the Army's immortal sacrifices "in defending the homeland with heroic epics with their brothers in the rest of the security forces, The Police, The Popular Mobilization Forces, Counter-Terrorism Service, and the Peshmerga."

In addition, the leader of the Sadrist movement Muqtada Al-Sadr stressed his refusal to attack the army, whether verbally or otherwise, noting that "The strength of our army is a strength for the homeland."
