/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Members of Organisation of the Islamic Conference
(OIC) express unilateral agreement, where non-Muslim state is
concerned, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated at
governmental sitting, in reply to Prosperous Armenia parliamentary
group member Naira Zohrabyan's question on Khojalu events.
As Edward Nalbandian noted, though RA collaborates with OIC states
hosting Armenian embassies, closer cooperation has to be established
with all members of the organisation to prevent anti-Armenian
resolutions.
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international
organisation with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It
groups 57 member states, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia,
Caucasus, Balkans, Southeast Asia and South Asia. The official
languages of the organisation are Arabic, English and French.
Since the nineteenth century, many Muslims had aspired to uniting the
Muslim ummah to serve their common political, economic, and social
interests. Despite the presence of secularist, nationalist, and
socialist ideologies, in modern Muslim states, they have cooperated
together to form the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. The
formation of the OIC happened in the backdrop of the loss of Muslim
holy sites in Jerusalem. The final cause sufficiently compelled
leaders of Muslim nations to meet in Rabat to establish the OIC on
September 25, 1969.
According to its charter, the OIC aims to preserve Islamic social and
economic values; promote solidarity amongst member states; increase
cooperation in social, economic, cultural, scientific, and political
areas; uphold international peace and security; and advance education,
particularly in the fields of science and technology.
