He said that the recent successful conference of the union is a clear answer for people who call for regional and sectarian strife and separation. “Such call are impossible,” he said. He said that the conference, that was held last week after 17 years of reunifying the country, is a practical and wonderful response to these “small blebs.” Last week, the union held its 9th conference to discuss a general report on the activities of the executive office for the past years and other reports related to the works of the confederation.
