“Of course, there are many differences, and let me emphasize that the reason that we are here is of course to listen to the differences. There are very strong different narratives, there are of course a lot of emotions after nearly ten years of conflict, and in the room, there are tense moments. This is to be expected but I think perhaps more importantly, what we experienced this week, I think is that more and more people were listening to each other tentatively, and they were listening with respect, and there were also exchanges that addressing each others.”
