Cairo - Bahrain's Foreign Minister called for the establishment of a regional organization that includes Arab states as well as Turkey, Israel and Iran, media reports said on Wednesday.
Sheik Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa was quoted by the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat as saying "such an organization should be formed even if we don't recognize each other."
The aim of the grouping would be to resolve disputes its members have with one another, according to the minister.
"Let them all sit together in one group ... Why not become one organization to overcome this difficult phase?," he said.
