Cairo: Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi Wednesday stressed the need of full United Nations (UN) membership for Palestine and said that the issue is pivotal for the Arabs’ progress.
During his speech at the Arab Foreign Ministers meeting in Cairo, Mursi denounced any threats or interventions marring Arab countries’ sovereignty.
“Egypt would not export its revolution, which saw its longtime Presidnet Hosni Mubarak deposed last year, to any other country,” he vowed.
He also spoke of attempts of revolution within Syria, saying there “there is no time for reforms in Syria” and that “change is inevitable and has to happen,” as the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad is inevitable.
“The Syrian people have chosen change,” he said, adding that the “Syrian regime must learn lessons from modern and ancient history.”
Mursi did not give more details of the gathering that Cairo has said should include Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Egypt.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also criticized Syria for massacring innocent people and said that Syria had become a “terrorist state” carrying out massacres against its own people.
“The regime in Syria has become a terrorist state,” Erdogan told his ruling AKP meeting in Ankara. “Syria is not an ordinary country to us. We do not have the luxury to remain indifferent to what’s happening there.”
