Jordan calls for objective assessment of terrorism causes

AMMAN, Nov 4 (KUNA) -- Jordanian State Minister for Information Mohammad Momani Saturday called for an international objective assessment of factors that contributed to rise of terrorist groups.

Jordan, he added, was active in the war against terrorism and extremism.
Dr. Annette Ranko, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung residing representative, said Europe's interest in the Arab regionl increased following the so-called Arab Spring, as well as influx of refugees to Europe.
The three-day conference discusses terrorism, and Jordan's relations with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. (end) ab.bs
