    The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) called on Friday
    for an end to the isolation of Turkish Cypriots in the "Kampala
    Declaration" adopted at the foreign ministers' meeting of the
    organization in the Ugandan capital of Kampala.

    In the declaration, the organization reiterated its commitment to a
    fair solution of the Cyprus problem.

    "The organization once more reaffirms its solidarity with its Muslim
    brothers in North Cyprus," the declaration said.

    The declaration called on the international community, including
    OIC member states, to take concrete steps to end the isolation of
    Turkish Cypriots.

    OIC member states also voiced their support for a peaceful solution
    to the Arab-Israeli dispute, and welcomed the signing of the Doha
    Agreement that solved the political crisis in Lebanon.

    The declaration also supported efforts to ensure national compromise
    among all Iraqi people, and emphasized the importance of preservation
    of Iraq's sovereignty, territorial integrity and national unity.

    In the declaration, the organization condemned the terrorist attacks
    in Afghanistan and called on the international community to extend
    more assistance to the Afghan government and people.

    The organization said that member states had the right to use nuclear
    energy for peaceful purposes, and also said that the Iran nuclear
    energy controversy should be solved through peaceful means.

    The OIC member states condemned Armenia's aggressive attitude towards
    Azerbaijan, and asked Armenia to withdraw from the Azerbaijani
    territories immediately and without precondition.

    In the statement, the organization also condemned all acts of
    terrorism, and underlined importance of cooperation against terrorism.

    The members also condemned Islamophobia and discrimination against
    Muslims, and called on the international community to take efficient
    measures to prevent them.
