Fawza Yusuf went on to say they English mentality of ruling and division, and domination. It still seeks to apply the Sykes-Picot Agreement. It divided Yemen, Libya, Syria and others. Fawza Yusuf said the most inflicted bty these polices is the people.

Regarding the recent attacks on the Rojava targeting the Kurds Fawza Yusuf said: ''we cannot say that the Kurds in Rojava alone are threatened by the Turkish occupation state, rather they are attacked in all parts of Kurdistan. We can say that 2022 is going to be decisive especially for us women. If we do not attain what we seek we will lose the chance''.

From her part Abir Hasaf, Member of the Administrative Body of the Kurdistan Nationalist Congress in Rojava said:

By the Qasir Shirine agreement in 1515 Kurdistan was divided for the first time, where scholar Idris after being commissioned by Sultan Selim held agreement with Kurdish emirs stipulating recognition of Kurdish emirates in return for defense in case Astana attacked.''

Abir said then it came the Amasya agreement in 1639 that regulated the border. It was at the time of Shah Ismael Safawi and Sultan Murad the fourth. Abir said then it was the Erzurum agreement in 1823 and the Second Erzurum agreement in 1847''.

Abir Said all agreements that portioned Kurdistan were unjust and deepened the Kurdish question more notably after the nationalist ideas invaded the middle East and more specifically at the onset of the 20 th century as Kurdistan begun to be contacted by Europe by voyagers and then British, French Russian and then U.S. missionaries and consuls.
