Qasemi criticizes repeated stances adopted at Munich conference

Speaking to reporters, he said concerning global developments and mainly those happened in recent months some ill-wishers are against restoration of stability and security in the region and try to create new problems immediately after the resolve of any problems.

The stances adopted by some countries at Munich were not new and had already been raised by some others at different occasions, he said.

In the Persian Gulf region, we are at serious odds with one of the countries and have no idea who governs there and as we receive negative messages, we also receive positive signals through various channels, he said.

'We should see who governs in the country and what policies they adopt in dealing with Iran, but there is no consistent voice,' he said.

Qasemi went on to say that those who utter vague words should be aware of its consequences while bearing in their minds that Iran’s patience is limited and Iran is unwilling to use the same words and enter into topics which are against expediency of the region.

'Turkey is among our important neighbors that enjoyed Iran’s support during the recent failed coup in that country and they quite know the timely support of Iran at their sensitive juncture,' he said.

Foreign ministry spokesman reiterated that current disruption in Turkey has urged the country's politicians to show improper behavior and fail to consider its consequences.

'Through these allegations they try to put blames on others,' Qasemi said.

He went on to say that it will be advisable to exercise more rationality, and said, 'We do not want such exchange of words to exist between Tehran and Ankara.'

'Iran is to exercise patience in dealing with Turkey and hopes such allegations will not be repeated any more,' Qasemi said.

“If Turkey’s friends to repeat these allegations, Iran will have no option except responding them and it never keeps mum,” he said.
