Iranian, Turkish, Azeri FMs Ink Statement on Joint Cooperation
TEHRAN,April 17 (FNA)- Iranian, Turkish and Azeri top diplomats in a statement issued at the end of their tripartite meeting in Northwestern Iran vowed to increase and bolster cooperation among the three Muslim countries in different fields.
The final statement signed by Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his Turkish and Azeri counterparts Ahmet Davutoglu and Elmar Mammadyarov at the end of their first trilateral meeting in Iran's Northwestern city of Orumiyeh on Saturday underlined the excellent relations among the three countries and described their common culture and civilization as a good basis for the further reinvigoration of their ties.
The three ministers underscored in the statement that regional cooperation and respecting countries' territorial integrity and national borders will have positive effects on the peaceful resolution of regional conflicts.
The three top diplomats also stressed the importance of justice in regulating international relations and full respect for all countries' right of access to development, science and technology, including civilian nuclear technology within the framework of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), without any discrimination.
Tehran and other countries of the region and the world have always criticized the double-standard policies adopted by the world powers on Iran and other countries' right of access to the peaceful nuclear technology.
Despite the rules enshrined in NPT entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.
The US-led West accuses Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
Tehran has dismissed West's demands as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iranians' national resolve to continue the path.
Political observers believe that the United States has remained at loggerheads with Iran mainly over the independent and home-grown nature of Tehran's nuclear technology, which gives the Islamic Republic the potential to turn into a world power and a role model for other third-world countries.
