Tehran, July 9, SPA -- Secretary-General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has called on the international community to adopt measures to put an end to atrocities of the Zionist (Israeli) regime in the Palestinian lands. He made the request while speaking to IRNA news agency here yesterday on the sidelines of the 9th meeting of foreign ministers of Iraq’s neighboring countries. These countries are Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria. "The OIC condemns brutal atrocities of the Zionist regime and believes the regime’s measures are against international norms and regulations," Ihsanoglu said. He stressed the importance of support for the Palestinian people and government by the international community and expressed hope the UN Security Council would issue a resolution against the Zionist regime. Ihsanoglu assessed as ’constructive and fruitful’ the Tehran meeting and hoped the participants would condemn crimes committed by the Zionist regime and support the Palestinian nation. --SPA 09/07/2006 12:20 ت م www.spa.gov.sa/374292
