Secretary-General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has protested against a possible foreign military intervention in Syria, the OIC told Trend on Thursday.

"We are against foreign military intervention in the processes on-going in Syria. It could contribute to start of large-scale war in the region," Mr Ihsanoglu said.

Anti-government protests have been continuing in Syria for nearly a year. Daily reports about deaths of both civilians and law enforcement agencies are received regularly.

The Syrian government will hold a referendum on a new constitution in order to normalise the situation in the country and meet the regime opponents' demands on Feb. 26.
