Witnesses of Mercy for Peace and Reconciliation

34 hank you very much, your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to speak about two parts of a story. The first is the religious part, the second is the situation of the Yazidi people. Of course, we have the belief in Yazidi that says that if we are conveying mercy to anyone, it should be done regardless of their religion. But we have another very important point of belief which states that we should be merciful to others before being merciful to ourselves. Now, love and peace constitute a message, one affirmed by all religions but we also have people who have cor- rupted and falsified this message, turning it into hatred, against the nature of God or Yahuda or Allah who is the source of purity, love, peace and mercy.
