ALGIERS — Algerian President Abdul Aziz Bouteflika yesterday expressed the hope that the UAE will restore its three islands of Abu Musa, Greater and Lesser Tunbs, which are under Iranian occupation, through peaceful means and within the spirit of good-neighbourliness.
| Said spirit is what Iranians are known for, of course, that's why they're occupying the islands in the first place, as good neighbors. |
"We hope that the two parties will opt for direct dialogue and that the dispute will be referred to the International Court of Justice, in order to reach a final solution that would serve the interests of all Islamic countries," Bouteflika said during the speech he gave today at the inauguration of the Arab summit.
