Many leading organizations and institutions of the world have intervened in resolving this issue, but, for some reason or more, theattempt to end it up peacefully still seems a distant prospect and is still very obscure.Numerous studies related to this problem suggest one of the ways to resolve this conflict through existence of a common sacred religious placebetween these two nations and their common patriarch.The purpose of this article is to highlight the role of common sacraments and common ancestor in the managing this conflict, and it also emphasizesthe fact that, previously, one of the main causes of this conflict was the common religious sanctity existing there, which might be considered one ofthe main key factors to resolve this issue and put the final peaceful end to this long-standing dispute.Keywords: Conflict, dispute, issue, peaceful, religious, resolve
