Almotamar.net - The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Iyad Madani called on all Yemeni parties to act wisely and put the interests of Yemen above all political, tribal and sectarian accounts.

In a statement aired by Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Madani described the developments that are currently taking place in Yemen as "serious".

Madani urged all parties to avoid the military option and to response to the international and regional efforts that call for a comprehensive national dialogue to find a peaceful way out of the deepening crisis in Yemen.

Sliding toward a civil war will have devastating consequences not only for Yemen but for the entire region, Madani added.

He stressed the importance of not-utilizing the war on terrorism to undermine the state institutions as that will lead only to the exacerbation of chaos and deepening the crisis.

The OIC's Secretary General called on all parties in Yemen to comply with UN Security Council resolutions and the GCC initiative and to participate actively in the dialogue as the only way to meet the Yemeni people aspirations in the peaceful transition of power and achieving security, stability and development and social peace
