In addition to a central march, the Kurdistan National Congress (KNK) organized a two-day conference in Lausanne to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne, which divided Kurdistan into four parts and formed the basis for genocidal attacks against the Kurds in the last century.

The conference held under the title “The stance of the people of Kurdistan on the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Lausanne” was attended by 600 representatives of political parties, organizations and institutions, as well as intellectuals, artists, politicians and faith groups from Kurdistan.

During two days of the conference, Kurdish parties expressed their thoughts and stance on the treaty and discussed its consequences for the Kurds and the peoples in the region.

Participants taking the floor voiced their proposals for the policies to be pursued by the Kurds in the new century.

A commission was formed to prepare the final declaration in line with the discussions and proposals, and the organizing committee was given a reward for its efforts for the conference, which is of historic importance.

The decisions made at the conference will be announced to the public during a press statement to be made in front of Château d’Ouchy at 10:00 on July 24, Monday.
