Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: The Gulf states have given Kuwait their full
support in its dispute with Iraq over the 1991 war reparations and border
demarcation.
In a statement issued after an emergency meeting on Monday, foreign
ministers of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council said Iraq should comply
with UN resolutions related to the war.
Tension between the two neighbours escalated last week when some Iraqi
lawmakers demanded compensation from Kuwait for facilitating the US-led
invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The lawmakers were angered by Kuwait's rejection of measures to remove
the UN's description of Iraq as a threat to international peace and security
which was imposed after Saddam Hussain invaded the country in 1990.
