The final declaration of the Cairo meeting of the Organization of
Islamic Conference (OIC) declated "the Turkish Cypriot State," after
intensive lobbying by the Turkish delegation.

"OIC member states are invited to prove their effective solidarity with
the Turkish Cypriot State and continue close relations to help it to
overcome the isolations," said the declaration of the 5th Conference
of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Conference
Member States.

The declaration also condemned the Armenian occupation on parts
of Azerbaijan, and the pressure and discrimination against Turkish
minorities living in Western Thrace, Greece.

Parliament Speaker Koksal Toptan represented Turkey at the
conference. Koksal is set to return to Turkey later Friday after his
visit to Alexandria.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
