Iran, a good neighbor, a brother country - Amr Mussa

Tehran, Oct 12, IRNA Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa advised Arab countries
Saturday in a TV interview never to consider Iran as an enemy, but
rather regard it as a good neighbor and a brother country in the region.

Mussa added in his interview with the Arabic channel of Al-Jazeera
satellite TV, "There are of course certain differences of opinion
between Iran and some Arab countries, despite which we need to
maintain dialogue with Iran."
He emphasized, "We are obliged to keep negotiating with Iran as a
responsibility, and Iran, too, is mutually responsible to maintain
constructive dialogue with us."
Referring to the existing issues between Iran and the United Arab
Emirates (UAE), he reiterated, "There are various ways for tackling
the major regional problems, but the current regional conditions
dictate the need to negotiate with Iran."
Amr Mussa emphasized, "It is necessary to pave the path for a
strategic, serious, and urgent Arabic-Iranian negotiations to
eliminate the chance for the probable antagonist encounter that many
forces try to flicker its flames."
The Arab League Secretary General stressed, "We should not take sides
with any country, side, or force that is trying to resort to military
attacks against any regional country, including Iran." He further
emphasized, "Anyone that favors launching a war against Iran is insane."
Criticizing the warmongers, the AL Secretary General asked them, After
what happened in Iraq, is there any doubt that the region is in need
of no more wars?"
