Abeer shed light on the Geneva conferences and constitutions, as she introduced the homeland and the Syrian crisis, and said, "As components and peoples in Syria, we searched for the concept of the homeland in which the popular movement began and turned into a wave controlled by the interests of regional and global countries to plunge the Syrian people into a suffocating crisis."

Abeer indicated that they are trying to get out of the suffocating crisis, and she emphasized, "the Geneva conferences held under international auspices and the absence of real representatives of the Syrian people in them, through which international agendas were practiced and some of them determined the fate of Syria."
