ISTANBUL, Feb 12 (A.A) - Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said on Tuesday that the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States had targeted the honour of all the countries.
Speaking at the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)-European Union (EU) Joint Forum, Kharrazi noted that he should say that the international community should immediately re-evaluate the unilateral and military approach of the United States.
Kharrazi thanked Turkish government for organizing the forum that was held at the right time.
The September 11th terrorist attack led to an international movement against terrorism and its causes, Kharrazi said.
Kharrazi noted that unfortunately, the U.S. officials had perceived that global sympath as a sympathy totaly towards themselves and continued their wrong communication with other countries and their general aggressive stance.
They thought that this approach did not help fight against terrorism and was not beneficial for international peace and security, Kharrazi said.
Kharrazi stated that he thought that the international community should immediately re-evaluate the unilateral and military approach of the United States.
OIC and EU countries undertook a special responsibility in restoring dialogue and mutual understanding, Kharrazi said.
Kharrazi pointed out that the representatives of both organizations were included in the global agenda accepted at the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly last November.
The Islam world had some expectations that the EU should stand more rigid towards the things that Israel was doing, Kharrazi stressed.
Kharrazi noted that to this end, they expected the EU to assume a fairer and more pragmatic approach toward the Middle East.
Developments had made dialogue of civilizations more important, Kharrazi said.
Kharrazi pointed out that this was no more an alternative but an obligation.
Dialogue was their only strategic choice, Kharrazi said and added that they had to choose that way to ensure real justice, peace and honor of humanity.
