A sense of their religious, human and moral responsibility towards the conflicts happening in the world that led to bloodshed and the destruction and looting of homelands and property. The origin of this conflict is the distortion of religions and the wisdom of the wise from their correct path, and the diagnosis of the causes of the conflict in order to find ways to solve it through various means, such as presenting religious texts that call for brotherhood, coexistence, equality in rights and duties, and distancing from interpretations and distortions that call for enmity and hatred, and activating commonalities and rejecting differences, Directing the media and the elite of intellectuals, thinkers, reformers, and philosophers to support this approach and revive the values of justice, love, peace, equality, and human fraternity, and that they are the refuge and the way to salvation, and make places of worship platforms and sources for spreading love and peace, and support the centers and institutions concerned in this regard, so that they join efforts in order to

 On the occasion of 100th anniversary of the ill-fated Lausanne Agreement, one of the results of which was the division of Kurdistan between four countries.

On this occasion, we direct our appeal to all the various religious institutions and centers and global organizations and bodies to carry out their humanitarian and moral duty to lift the state of existential denial against the Kurdish people who have been living on their historical land for thousands of years. We also appreciate what the Kurdistan National Congress is doing in terms of a group of forums in several cities and in the city of Lausanne On the same day that the decision to partition was taken, and that the least that can be done by the sponsoring countries of that ominous agreement first, international institutions and bodies and global decision centers second is to recognize the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria with all its religious, racial and ethnic components, to preserve this social fabric and painting the mosaic that was represented today by this auspicious conference, which included all religions, beliefs and sects in the region.

We also call, through this blessed presence and the participants in this conference, all religious institutions and personalities around the world to raise their voice and call for lifting the state of isolation imposed on the leader and thinker Abdullah Ocalan, as a moral, religious and human duty, calling for the brotherhood of peoples and religions on the grounds of humanity, and the owner of the democratic nation, and this conference is only one of the fruits of his thought and call, and loyalty to him and the millions of people who believe in his thought around the world.
