Chairman of the Organization for World Peace says the Tehran Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit gives its member states the opportunity to make the world listen to them.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Chairman of the Organization for World Peace says the Tehran Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit gives its member states the opportunity to make the world listen to them.“I think this NAM meeting will tell the world to listen to them, to a country like Iran. I am from, for example, Scandinavia, a very important area of Europe. There is not too much participation from the so-called European Union or from the EEC (European Economic Community). There is no reason that they show their anger. The reason is that they do not want to listen to and face the truth of the more than 120 important countries, as you said, of the world,” Abid Ali Abid said in an interview on Thursday.He went on to say that, from the establishment of NAM up until now the circumstances in the world have entirely changed.“Some members including Iran are facing the situation which is created by the Zionist countries, the rich countries with powerful armies. The situation is very different now. The countries like America and its allies are trying to impose, and they have already imposed, some of these sanctions against Iran,” Abid noted.He further argued that, as the president of the movement it is Iran’s responsibility “to take actions not today, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, but everyday of its presidency, to bring the issues through NAM to the world platform.”The two-day foreign ministerial meeting of the NAM member states wrapped up on Wednesday with member states finalizing a draft document after two days of deliberations.The meeting of the NAM heads of state kicked off in Tehran on Thursday with an inaugural speech by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. /129
