The text, which said that the tension between the PKK and KDP, which has dangerously increased in recent days, caused deep concerns among Kurds, continued with the following remarks: "We believe that it is possible for all Kurdish parties, organizations and military forces to come together around a common strategy and goal in order for the Kurds to have the right to live freely in their own countries in a process where the Middle East is being redesigned. For this reason, we demand the solution of the problems between all Kurds, Kurdish parties and forces from the country and the diaspora through dialogue, and in this sense, we invite everyone to act responsibly.”
