Asked to show the position of the Kingdom towards the demand of the Iraqi Foreign Minister yesterday for the United States to launch an attack against Da'esh and whether he considers it a revolution against Al-Malki's government, Prince Saud Al-Faisal reminded that the Kingdom's statement has depicted Da'esh as a terrorist group and listed it on the terror list, adding that Saudi Arabia never suggested that this development in Iraq falls within the context of a popular revolution that reflects the will of the people of Iraq. Explaining what has happened in Iraq, he said terrorists have made gains on the ground because the Iraqi government, led by a prime minister who practiced absolute power in his hands, have paved way for terrorists to do what they like through maladministration, consolidation of sectarianism and biased treatment of the people of one country. Prince Saud Al-Faisal depicted Da'esh as source of destruction in Iraq and not a salvaging factor. If the Iraqi authorities would like to wipe out Da'esh, they have to, first of all, be confident of their actions in their country, work for the interest of all people, the social cohesion to keep the nation purified and immune to be able to fight terrorism. Nobody could dare to deny that Saudi Arabia is a forefront fighter against terrorism, he said. On the situation of Saudi dependants in Iraq, Prince Saud Al-Faisal said his ministry is following up the matter, but unfortunately, the Iraqi authorities are practicing procrastination and could not voice the accusations they are filing against them or allow Saudi envoys to meet them, so they are facing painful situation. For his part, the Secretary General of the OIC Iyad Madani said the expansion of small loans base was discussed in the conference, noting that there are successful experiments in the member state. Coordination is underway to derive an ideal experiment that could be followed, he added. He drew the attention that the conference has suggested the establishment of multi-national companies among member states of OIC, an issue that would be discussed in the next summit which, he said, would be specialized in science, technology and innovation. --SPA 21:35 LOCAL TIME 18:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
