Iranian embassy in Mexico condemns Spanish ex-premier statement

Iranian embassy in Mexico condemns Spanish ex-premier statement
Madrid, June 21, IRNA

Iran-Spain-Embassy

Iranian embassy in Mexico City in a communique on Thursday condemned a former Spanish prime minister as a warmonger and unaware of Iranian history following his recent comments on Iran in Mexico.

The embassy reacted to what Jose Maria Asnar has said in a gathering of the Mexican party PAN on Tuesday against Iran and leftist Latin American states.

The communique said that the former Spanish premier in the meeting has falsely called Iran's government a dictatorship system while as a matter of fact all Iranian authorities are elected by people.

The embassy said that it is an honor for the independent Iranian nation to be challenged by a politician like him who has taken part in inhuman invasion and destruction of Iraq and has hailed the Zionist acts against Lebanese and Palestinians.

The communique added that it seems that Mr Asnar is regretably propagating warmongering ideas and supports new wars in the Middle East and for the same reason the people in his own country forced him to step down.

The embassy added that Asnar's statement shows his ignorance towards Mexico which is well known as a peaceful state engaged in promoting international interaction.

The communique also said the success of the current Iranian exhibition named "Iran, a Symbol of Paradise" in Mexico which has been warmly welcomed by the honorable and friendly nation of Mexico means that the Mexican people support friendship and dialogue among civilizations.
