Diplomat: Islamic Awakening to Give New Shape to Middle-East
TEHRAN (FNA)- The recent popular uprisings and Islamic awakening will give a new shape to the Middle-East and North Africa, an Iranian diplomat stressed.
Addressing a ceremony on the occasion of the International Quds Day, Iran's Ambassador to Japan Seyed Abbas Araqchi stated that the world is witnessing popular and Islamic uprisings in Arab world which will give a new shape to the Middle-East in future.
During the ceremony also attended by various Japanese Islamic societies and associations, the envoy expressed the hope that people of Islamic countries in North Africa and the Middle-East could achieve their goals in peace and without interference by foreign powers.
As regards Palestine, the Iranian diplomat said that Palestine is the most important issue for Islamic world.
He condemned Zionist regime's crimes, and called on western countries to end their unilateral and cruel policy of support for the Zionist regime.
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has swept the Arab world.
In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule.
Other revolutions, then, erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while other anti-government unrests have started in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
In Libya, euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli on August 22 in a lightning advance, celebrating the victory in Green Square, the symbolic heart of Muammar Qaddafi's regime.
