Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi explained that going to Geneva does not mean giving up the outputs of the national dialogue. He said, 'We will go to Geneva on the basis of the Gulf initiative, its executive mechanisms, the outputs of the national dialogue and the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions, particularly resolution No 2216 in order to stop the killing machine suffered by the people of Yemen and pulling the country out of its current situation.' The Yemeni President pointed out in a comprehensive interview with AlArabiya television last night and carried by the Yemeni news agency, that the insurgents do not recognize the resolutions of the United Nations and they have their own agenda. He added that he had asked the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for Arab States to intervene and stand by Yemen so as not to be a hotbed of terrorism, noting that King Salman bin Abdulaziz and the GCC leaders' decision was courageous. President Hadi disclosed that Iran was standing against the Gulf Initiative, and he demanded Tehran to lift its hand out of Yemen after the Yemeni leadership had evidences of Iran's involvement in fomenting violence in Yemen and pushed the country into a civil war, stressing that the government had arrested officers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and seized ships loaded with weapons and informed the United Nations about all that. The Yemeni president also said that Iran wanted access to the Strait of Bab Al-Mandeb through the war in Yemen, in addition to the Strait of Hormuz to be able to threaten the security and safety of the international navigation.
