Riyadh: The secretary general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, said on Thursday he “did not see much support for external military intervention” in Syria during a summit of Muslim nations in Makkah.
Ihsanoglu of Turkey was speaking in Arabic at a press conference at the end of a two-day summit called by Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah to discuss the crisis in Syria, Reuters reported.
Saudi Arabia has previously called for the Syrian people to be “enabled to protect themselves” if the international community could not protect them.
