Scholars gather in Ankara for unity of Islam, Christianity

"Christianity and Islam constantly accuse each other. But they should try not to do so for the sake of a better world and future," said Asefi. "The location chosen for the conference is also significant since Ankara is a place located between the Islamic and Christian worlds, and has the ability to understand the two divine religions. We should keep in mind that the essence of monotheistic religions is stability and justice. Therefore, we should promote interfaith cooperation to attain friendship and unity. The existence of diversity should be unified through peaceful coexistence, something lacking these days. If we construct a dialogue on common points and exclude differences, we could attain peace and prosperity. This conference is therefore important since scholars, intellectuals and politicians will be able to expand the climate of friendship and understanding."
