BAKU (Azerbaijan) – Pakistan has proposed creation of a single military bloc of Islamic states.
Addressing a press conference at the Azerbaijani parliament on Wednesday, Deputy Chairman of Senate Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali has informed that Pakistan proposes creation of the bloc.
“International organisations approach conflicts in the Muslim world with double standards, although reaction comes immediately on conflicts in Christian countries, and we therefore propose creation of a unified Islamic military bloc,” Jamali said, reported Azerbaijani media. “It is time to create a military bloc of Muslim countries and there is a relevant potential”, Jamali said.
He said the West adheres to the double standards in dealing with global processes and makes no effort to solve the conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Bosnia and Kashmir. United Nations decisions on these conflicts have not been fulfilled, he added. “There are many strong countries among Muslim ones from the military and political points of view,” he said. “Uniting these countries into a bloc would be useful in solving our problems.”
“Pakistan is a nuclear state. We are producing our weapons, tanks, modernising our warships. We want to say to our Azerbaijani brothers that together with Turkey we are ready to support Azerbaijan. We are one of the three states that do not recognise Armenia as a state,” he said.
Jamali underlined that there is potential for cooperation between Pakistan and Azerbaijan in the area of defence industry. “Pakistan was the second country that recognised Azerbaijan’s independence.
At the same time, it is one of the three countries that don’t recognise Armenia officially,” said Chairman of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Affairs Salim Saifullah Khan, who accompanied Jan Jamali.
He said that Pakistan had Kashmir problem and Azerbaijan had Nagorno Karabakh problem: “The United Nations adopted a resolution on the right of Kashmir’s population to liberty. We struggle for this issue. We had four wars with India on it. We think that there is no necessity to begin the next war. The United Nations has resolutions on Nagorno Karabakh. Pakistan supports the peaceful settlement of this conflict.”
According to Salim Saifullah, the political relations between the two countries are at a high level: “The countries are not so close to each other from the economic point of view. We discuss these issues at our meetings. It is possible to develop the relations in economic, cultural and media spheres.”
