Cairo: Secretary-General of the Arab League Dr Nabil El-Araby has condemned the attacks on the Saudi embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Mashhad. 
He deemed this a flagrant violation of international charters and norms, holding the Iranian government responsible for protecting these diplomatic missions according to the Vienna Convention.
In a statement, El-Araby confirmed the importance of the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran should respect the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries which have the legitimate right to maintain the security of their citizens, civil peace and social unity. He also stressed that no other party has the right to comment on judicial rulings of other countries.
The Secretary-General of the Arab League also hailed the efforts being exerted by Saudi Arabia in fighting terrorism and establishing security and stability in the Kingdom and the region.
