Saudi prince denounces double standard policy

Saudi second deputy premier and defense minister prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz criticized the double-standard policy pursued by the West toward nuclear armament and in turning a blind eye toward the Israeli nuclear arsenal.

In statements he made on Thursday night following a graduation ceremony for students of the Industrial Institute in al-Kharaj area that his country is against piling up nuclear weapons in principle, noting the attitude towards the West in imposing sanctions against Pakistan or India and letting Israel off free in this respect means embarking on a double-standard policy, a matter which violates human rights.

"We hope this principle will become applicable among all sides which work to pile up nuclear weapons," he said.
