Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rapped the Gulf Arab monarchies for seeking reforms in Syria without applying the same standards of openness for themselves.
Iran’s Press TV quoted Mr. Ahmadinejad as saying in Makkah on the sidelines of a summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that he “was surprised in this summit [to see] that the kings of some countries were speaking against Syria while the majority of their own people do not want them [to rule].”
The Iranian President made the comment on Wednesday during a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul. Rejecting double standards, Mr. Ahmadinejad said that he was “of course waiting to see when these reforms will reach the other countries in the region”.
During the conference, Mr. Ahmadinejad warned fellow Muslim countries in the 57-nation OIC not to fall in the trap that had been laid out for them by the region’s “enemies”.
“Today, all of us have entered into a plan without realising it; a plan that has been devised by the enemy. We are showing hostility toward each other without any clear reason and perhaps based on false information and under various personal, ethnic, historical, and even religious pretexts.”
He added that “media warfare has reached its climax” with the aim of sowing divisions among the countries of the region.
Radical course
Mr. Ahmadinejad warned that without a self-conscious and radical course correction, the domination of Israel and its allies would swamp the entire region.
The Iranian side also slammed the summit’s decision to suspend Syria from the OIC. “Before making any decisions, Syria should have been invited to the summit to discuss and defend its position,” observed Ali Akbar Salehi, Iranian Foreign Minister.
Indeed this is hypocritical world, The US, Nato and all others are
silent on on all attocraties being done let it be Sierra Leone or
Myammaar or Bahrain or even the so called Humanist govt of US and europe
are quite as it suits them, but on the other hand they want to wage a
war for the people of syria. Are the people of Bahrain, Saudi, Yemen
are not humans. And moreover the disgusting paid media, which never
tells truth. Only God can help mankind
Is Syria not an Arab Muslim nation ? By denying an invitation to the
OIC-meeting and then, also suspending the war-torn country, the views of
Iran only ring more credible.
Mr. Ahmadinejad has snatched my opinion almost.
Well said Mr. Ahmadinejad you are on right spot and showed some sense to some non-sense puppet out there.
True-same is the case with USA also.But people don't need democracy if
people's aspirations are met.
The only country in the entire Middle East and Central Asia that has a clear foresight
is Iran. The west is scared of the democracy in the middle east, therefore, picking all
anti-US regimes and overthrowing the leaders. There is a clear double standard.
What makes KSA, Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan different from Syria? Why do they want to
throw Assad and keep Abdullah?
Iranian president have said the true. We pray to see the such changes happening in their
country too. Inshallah.
