TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said the Tehran anti-terror conference is seeking to have a global and international look at the devilish and inauspicious phenomenon of terrorism, and underlined that the gathering would yield positive outcomes.

"The conference has a global and international view," he told Iran's Jam-e-Jam tv network, and added Tehran believes that terrorism is not an issue merely related to just a particular part of the world.

The Iranian foreign ministry presser called for a real and global campaign against terrorism, and stated, "We should take a serious and real move to confront terrorism at the international level."

"All victims of terrorism should participate in the move and all international organizations should feel responsibility and be hopeful about eradication of this phenomenon," Mehman-Parast reiterated.
