Baku / 12.12.17 / Turan: An extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will open in Istanbul on December 13 at the initiative of Ankara in response to the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. According to Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Bekir Bozdag, the summit participants should not be limited to condemning the decision of Washington, but to show a more rigid approach, Bozdag agency quoted Anadolu.

From this message it is not clear what the organizers of the summit are planning, apparently it is a question of a final statement and a proposal to take certain sanctions against Israel and the United States.

The president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, also gave his consent to participate in the summit.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the short war in June 1967. In 1980, the Knesset passed a bill, according to which Israel unilaterally declared Jerusalem its one and undivided capital.

In response, the UN Security Council adopted resolution N478, in which it condemned the Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem. The international community believes that East Jerusalem is under Israeli occupation. -02D-
