Head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Sunday appealed to
the UN Security Council to intervene to protect Myanmar's Rohingya
Muslims from ethnic violence.
"Security Council must protect rights and lives of Rohingya Muslims,"

countries in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The meeting
brings together top diplomats of Turkey, Afghanistan, UAE, Brunei,
Djibouti, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Senegal and Saudi Arabia who will
discuss violent attacks including torchings, ambushes and deadly
assaults in Rakhine state.
Ihsanoglu also warned against a regional escalation of tensions.
