President Arafat attends the 8th OIC summit in Tehran, which adopts 142 resolutions and a united stand in support of the Palestinian Question. It denounces Israeli “state terrorism” and calls for a halt to normalization with Israel (incl. closing interest offices and halting military cooperation) because it is “reinstating an atmosphere of war.” Turkey’s Pres. Demirel leaves the summit a day early in protest at the call and the summit”s failure to pass two pro-Turkish resolutions on Cyprus.
