The forum aims to determine a strategy to defend security in the region and to put forth opinions and suggestions for the fight against ISIS. Countries of the world should come together and fight ISIS gangs.”

“THE PUBLIC’S DUTIES SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR”

Sino said the forum will help uphold the values of the people and added that the crimes against humanity ISIS committed against the peoples will be uncovered and necessary methods for that will be employed. Sino said: “This forum is also a great opportunity to discuss the issue of trial for the ISIS members in accordance with international treaties and laws, as well as to make clear the duties that befall the international public.”
