| GCC Urges Syria to End Violence, Asks Iran to 'Stop Meddling' in Gulf |
| 2011-12-21 |
| [An Nahar] The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council called on arch rival Iran on Tuesday to "stop meddling" in the internal affairs of the group's members and urged Syria to "immediately halt its killing machine." "Stop these policies and practices ... and stop interfering in the internal affairs" of the Gulf nations, said a statement released at the end of the GCC annual summit in the Saudi capital Riyadh. The Sunni-led GCC also expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... over attempts by Shiite Iran to "instigate sectarian strife." The GCC also called on Iran to "fully cooperate" with the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency and work to resolve regional conflicts "peacefully," adding that the GCC nations were still committed to a Middle East "free of weapons of mass destruction." |
