OIC accepts Iraq Governing Council to take seat

IRNA

Putrajaya, Malaysia, Oct 12, IRNA -- The Organization of the Islamic 
Conference (OIC) accepted the delegation from Iraq Governing Council 
(IGC) to attend the summit to accelerate Iraqi independence. 
"The OIC accepted the IGC to take Iraq`s seat to help the Iraqi 
people establish national sovereignty and get rid of occupation as 
quickly as possible," a diplomat attending the expert meeting told 
IRNA. 
"The acceptance should not be regarded as an approval for the 
Iraqi occupation. Instead, it is a step from the Islamic nations to 
help the Iraqi people to form national government through democratic 
election," he said. 
OIC Secretary General Abdelouahed Belkeziz said in his address 
to the expert meeting on Saturday that the United Nations should take 
over the administration of Iraqi affairs in accordance with a clear 
and short timetable. 
"Islamic nations should commit themselves to the eviction of 
foreign forces from Iraq, allowing the United Nations to administer 
Iraqi affairs, prelude to the restoration of Iraq`s independence and 
to the rebuilding of what has been destroyed over the past 20 years, 
all in accordance with a clear and short timetable," he said. 
The Iraqi delegation is represented by Riyad al-Fadhi.
