Iran's efforts to hold OIC urgent meeting, fruitful : Envoy
Jeddah, June 6, IRNA – An Iranian envoy to Jeddah said on Sunday that Tehran’s efforts to hold an OIC emergency meeting on the recent Zionists attack on the peace flotilla have become fruitful.
Iran's Consul General to Jeddah Mojtaba Qaemi-Mehr told reporters that the Islamic Republic has made great efforts to hold the emergency Executive Committee meeting of the ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) on Zionists’ crimes in Gaza.
He expressed hope that the event would have appropriate outcome for the oppressed people of Gaza and all Muslim nations.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki arrived here on Sunday to attend the OIC meeting.
The OIC foreign ministers are expected to condemn the Zionists atrocities in the Gaza Strip by issuing a statement at the end of the meeting.
Mottaki has already held talks with a number of world leaders, including OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, on the latest developments in Gaza, the Monday raid on the aid convoy to Gaza in particular.
According to media reports, early Monday morning in international waters, Israeli forces intercepted and took control of the six-ship aid convoy, which was carrying 10,000 tons of aid and hundreds of activists from several countries. At least 10 people were killed in the serious violence on one or more of the vessels.
The six-ship flotilla had 682 passengers from 42 countries./end
