DOHA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th February, 2019) Qatar will host a regional meeting this year dedicated to the crimes committed by the Islamic State terrorist group (banned in Russia), the Qatari Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"[Qatari] Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani has announced that the State of Qatar intends to host this year a high-level regional meeting to address the brutal crimes committed by the ISIS group, in cooperation with the Special Adviser and Head of the International Investigation Team to promote accountability for crimes committed by ISIS group in Iraq," the statement, published on Wednesday, read.
According to Al-Thani, who was speaking at a meeting of ministers of the Global Coalition To Defeat IS in Washington, success in fighting against the terrorist group can be achieved only by "addressing the root causes of terrorism and extremism" and by promoting regional and international cooperation.
The US-led coalition has been fighting IS militants in Syria and Iraq since 2014. The coalition's operations in Syria have not been authorized by the country's government or the UN Security Council.
