Iranian lawmaker says OIC extraordinary meeting unlikely to bear results
Last Updated(Beijing Time):2012-08-06 16:17

A senior Iranian lawmaker said that it is unlikely that the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), slated to be held in Mecca on August 14-15, would yield any results, given Saudi Arabia's hostile stance towards Syria, Press TV reported on Monday.

Chairman of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said Sunday that " Since the beginning of the unrest in Syria, the Arab League and countries such as Saudi Arabia set a bad record of themselves by adopting hostile stances (towards Syrian government)... Therefore, it seems unlikely that they intend to take steps to resolve the Syrian unrest."

The Iranian lawmaker added that "Saudi officials along with the Arab League and certain regional countries and trans-regional powers such as the U.S. and Britain employed all their capacities to fuel tension in Syria," Boroujerdi was quoted as saying.

The Saudi monarch, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, has invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to attend the extraordinary summit of Muslim leaders. An official from Iran's presidential office announced on Monday that Ahmadinejad will participate in the meeting, according to the official IRNA news agency.

Iran has voiced strong support for Syrian government "under any circumstances", while Saudi officials have taken opposite stances on the unrest in Syria and have backed the appositions of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
