OIC protests foreign interference in Syrian crisis

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is against foreign interference in the Syrian crisis, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said in an interview with Trend on Tuesday.

"Foreign interference in the Syrian crisis will not be in favour of Syria," Ihsanoglu said

He said it is necessary to stop the bloodshed and immediately start a dialogue between the parties to reach a political solution.

Ihsanoglu is convinced that it is necessary to put pressure on the conflicting parties in order to start negotiations.

He added that this issue will be included in the agenda of the 'Friends of Syria' conference in Morocco.

Anti-government protests have continued in Syria for a year and half.

According to UN, the total number of victims of the conflict in Syria exceeds 30,000.
More than 230,000 have become refugees with around three million in need of humanitarian assistance. The Syrian authorities say they oppose the well-armed militants.
