Terrorism killed chances for development in region
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani made the remarks in his
opening speech at the 31st International Islamic Unity Conference that went
underway on Tuesday morning in Tehran, adding "the blow that they struck
against the image of Islam by portraying it in a distorted way to the younger
generation in the world, has left a hefty burden of responsibility on our
shoulders today.”
"We need to compensate for this treachery that has been done against our region by the Arrogance and Zionism,” he stressed.
He went on to add, "the world today is greatly indebted to those who fought against ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq, because this plague was not only a threat to the Middle East, but a threat to Europe and America as well.”
"Those who advocate peace must be thankful to fighters of the Resistance Movement, but unfortunately this is not the case. Instead of being grateful to these governments, they are planning to weaken and hatch conspiracies against them,” Rouhani said.
