Ambassador of Arjan - Mohammad Aref Moazi: The meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be held in Baghdad, in a situation where the intensification of tensions in the region and the increased risk of conflicts have highlighted the need for coordination among Muslim countries more than in the past. The simultaneity of this meeting with the tension between Saudi Arabia and Yemen and the continuation of the US-Israeli war against Iran can turn the security developments of the region into one of the main axes of the talks.

Iraq's hosting of this meeting is also important in the circumstances that Baghdad can play a role in strengthening regional dialogues and bringing closer the positions of Islamic countries. The presence of Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, provides an opportunity to present Tehran's views on the current developments and examine ways to reduce tensions. However, the effectiveness of the meeting depends on the political will of the members to overcome differences and reach common positions; A problem that has always been one of the main challenges of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in facing the crises of the Islamic world.

Ambassador Arjan discussed these developments in a conversation with Sabah Zanganeh, the former representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

In the following, you will read the details of Ambassador Arjan's conversation with Sabah Zanganeh;

Islamic countries have no other path, except to sit next to each other and talk/ Islamic countries must also find their place in global developments.

*** What is the importance of the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in the current situation, especially considering the escalation of tension between the two Muslim countries of Saudi Arabia and Yemen and the fear of other Muslim countries being drawn into the flames of this war?

In the current situation, Islamic countries have no other way but to sit together, consult and talk, raise issues quickly and in good faith, and explain the existing solutions. It may be difficult for some countries to accept these solutions, but the continuation of tension and conflict between Islamic countries is not a pleasant issue and will not lead to a positive future.

Therefore, it is better for countries to reach solutions through these discussions and think about building the future; A future that is accompanied by the use of the capabilities of all Islamic countries and helps to realize a higher position for these countries in a world that is constantly changing.

We are in transition; The stages in which the systems face problems and the rules change. Islamic countries must also find their place in these developments.

Turkey and the Islamic Republic of Iran are great Islamic powers and can help solve many issues

*** What is the message of holding this meeting in Baghdad and can Iraq's hosting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation contain a special sign?

Iraq is in an important and strategic position. On the one hand, Türkiye is located in the north and next to it is the Islamic Republic of Iran. These two countries are great Islamic powers and can help solve many issues.

On the other hand, Syria and Jordan are located in the west of Iraq, and Iraq is also located in the neighborhood of the occupied land of Palestine. In the south of this country are the Persian Gulf countries; Countries that have faced many changes in the form of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

In such a situation, Iraq can play a positive role in the developments; Because on the one hand, it has good relations with America and on the other hand, it also has good relations with its surrounding countries. Iraq can use these facilities and communication capacities to resolve the causes and factors of existing tensions between countries.

For example, Saudi Arabia and Yemen are two Muslim countries and they can sit around the same table and discuss their issues with the presence of countries like Iraq and Iran.

Many of these countries, or at least half of the countries that will be present at this summit, basically their lives and economies depend on the extraction and sale of oil, gas and energy. If this main basis of their economic life is disrupted or has problems, we cannot hope for their future.

Therefore, these countries can discuss this issue in the meeting and find solutions to overcome this crisis.

If the neighboring countries do not give facilities to the US and the Israeli regime, many issues will be solved/Iran should raise the crimes committed by the US and the Israeli regime.

*** To what extent can the presence of Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in this meeting be useful for the country in the current situation?

The presence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran in every gathering seems necessary; Because Iran itself has been attacked and must state its issues and raise the crimes committed by America and the Israeli regime.

Iran should request all Islamic countries and neighboring countries and ask them not to provide facilities or help these two aggressor regimes. This is a reasonable, realistic and logical request and can help to pass the current critical stage.

America is trying not to lose its position, while this country's actions actually lead to an increase in tension and insecurity. If all the peripheral countries of the region agree not to give facilities to the cause of tension, namely the US and the Israeli regime, many issues will be resolved.

It will be a pity if this organization cannot find a solution for its existence.

*** To what extent do you think the current war in the region, whether the US and Israel's aggression against Iran or the Saudi war against Yemen, will affect the content of this meeting?

Considering the current time, these two issues are vital issues and will definitely be on the agenda of the Baghdad Summit.

This organization has tried, but due to certain issues in its structure and position, as well as the lack of strong political will, it has not been able to help many crises and issues.

We still see differences between Pakistan and Afghanistan; Also, the problems that Afghanistan has faced in the past 40 years and the numerous crises that we have witnessed in this country. In the Palestinian issue, no realistic and fruitful practical action has been observed, beyond issuing statements and announcing positions.

We have not seen anything else and this organization has not been able to prove its position. Anyway, the foundation of the establishment of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was the issue of Palestine and Quds Sharif. It will be a pity if this organization cannot find a solution for its existence and prove its position.
