Istanbul. Mayis Alizade – APA. 26 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) owe $160 million membership fee, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
He made the remarks at the closing ceremony of the 13th OIC Summit in Istanbul Apr. 15.
Erdogan noted that effective activity of any organization with such a debt is impossible.
Turkey’s president said that financial assistance is needed for a more dynamic activity of the organization.
