Syriac conference in Qamishli discuses injustice of Lausanne Treaty
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Syriac Center for Strategic Studies held a conference on Sunday in Qamishli city, northeast Syria, to discuss the situation of Syriac people and the rights that they have been denied in the region after 100 years of Lausanne Treaty.
The conference, which was held in downtown Qamishli and under the slogan ‘Preserving People’s Rights in a Dynamic World’, brought together an esteemed gathering of intellectuals, educators, and politicians.
Kino Gabriel, a consultant in the center, told North Press that the conference concentrated on suggesting opinions that guarantee better future and to avoid treaties like Lausanne.
He added, “We are currently witnessing a transformative phase that has the potential to reshape not only Syria but the entire world. As a result, we should provide a better future for the Syriac people and others in the region.”
He emphasized that the conference delved into several crucial aspects, such as “strengthening collaborative endeavors to support all communities that have endured persecution and rights violations outlined in the Treaty of Lausanne.” Additionally, it focused on establishing practical approaches to integrate the interests of the region’s inhabitants with those of major powers.
He also stressed that Turkey should commit to give back the Syriac people their rights as stipulated in the Lausanne Treaty.
