Argentina Views Iran's Offer on AMIA as "Positive Step"
TEHRAN (FNA)- Argentinean Foreign Minister Hector Timerman welcomed Iran's call for constructive dialogue to find truth about the case of the 1994 bombing attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA).
"If it were to be carried out, it would mean a singular and very positive step forward because the law and justice are the only road to fighting terror," Timerman said at a Sunday press conference.
Under intense political pressure by the US and the Israeli regime, Argentina formally accused Iran of carrying out the attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that claimed the lives of 85 people and left 300 wounded.
Faced with lack of any evidence for their anti-Iranian allegations, only false and contradictory statements by Iranian dissidents seeking asylum in the West have been used by Argentine's prosecutors to level charges against Tehran. The Islamic Republic has vehemently and consistently denied any involvement in the terror bombing.
Earlier, the Iranian foreign ministry in a statement deplored all kinds of terrorist acts, and called for the removal of all the ambiguities in the case of the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires.
The statement expressed sorrow that after 17 years of the crime, the truth has not been discovered yet and the identity of perpetrators and the real elements behind the crime are still vague.
Iran Foreign Ministry expressed hope that it would be able to enlighten more details of the deviated and unfair process by issuing a report soon.
It concluded that the Ministry is also ready to enter a constructive dialogue and cooperation with Argentinean government to find out the truth and reality in the framework of law.
