On its part, also according to the priest, "the Embassy of Amman proposed that only 10 visas be issued, but how can one reduce a group of almost 170 people down to just ten? On his part, father Bashar asked that at least the visas would be issued for the priests, but at this point even if I had a visa in my hands I would not go. How could I leave behind the young people of my parish who have dreamt of this event for so long?" However, the young are not giving up and between 25th and 30th July they have organised a campaign on lake Dokan, near Sulemaniya: "we will be together, we will sing and pray, even if we won’t be able not to think of that missed opportunity. It would have been great to show the world the faith that lives in our young people".
