It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Dr. David Pollock and the entire Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) on the tragic loss of a remarkable individual and an invaluable expert, Dr. David Pollock.
Dr. Pollock’s profound insights and unwavering dedication to understanding the complexities of the Kurdish issue and the broader Middle East have left an indelible mark on our community. His unique approach, combining a deep understanding of the Kurdish question with a consistent consideration of human rights, made him an exceptional individual whose work was greatly appreciated by the Kurdish people.
Dr. Pollock’s legacy will continue to inspire generations to come, especially within the WKI, where his contributions will be remembered.
The WKI stands in solidarity and extends its deepest sympathies. May the memories of Dr. David Pollock’s remarkable life bring solace and comfort to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
