Mottaki: Obama lost great opportunity
Tehran, June 15, IRNA – Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Monday that the US President Barack Obama lost a great opportunity provided by Tehran Declaration and instead revealed the true image of US policies to world nations.
According to the Press Bureau and Public Relations Department of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mottaki made the remarks in his meeting with visiting Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin in Tehran.
Mottaki referring to deep-rooted political, economic and parliamentary cooperation between Iran and Turkey hailed sincere cooperation between Iran, Turkey and Brazil in signing the Tehran Declaration and striving to resolve the country’s nuclear standoff.
Turkey demonstrated its diplomatic capability through Tehran Declaration, he said while describing the reaction of US to such a move as ‘naive’.
The US move proves the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the past 30 years in revealing the wrong policies of the US administrations to world nations, he said.
The US president had personally advised the Turkish and Brazilian presidents to play an active role in Tehran nuclear swap deal but simply missed the opportunity and revealed the true image of US hegemony.
The Iranian foreign minister also voiced sympathy with the Turkish people and government over martyrdom of 9 Turkish citizens aboard a ship carrying relief supply to Gaza people. He blasted the UNSC for its double standard approach to the Zionist regime's attack on Gaza aid convoy.
Turkish parliament speaker, for his part, highlighted the two sides' relations and underlined that Tehran nuclear standoff should be resolved through negotiations and diplomatic means.
Turkey believes that Tehran Declaration is still on the table and sharply criticized the reaction of certain countries to this effect.
Referring to existing problems in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan, he called for expansion of cooperation among regional parliaments mainly between Iran and Turkey./end
