IRANIAN OFFICEAL HOPES SOLANA WOULD VISIT IRAN FREE FROM NEGATIVE PREJUDGAMENTS

Madrid, June 7 (IRNA) - A visiting Iranian Foreign Ministry official expressed hope here Friday EU Foreign Policy Chief Javier Solana would in his upcoming visit of Iran be free from negative prejudgments implied by those who do not wish Iran's peaceful nuclear case to proceed in its natural positive path. Managing Director of Foreign Ministry's West Europe Affairs Mostafa Dowlatyar made the comment at a press conference here with Spanish reporters. Dowlatyar said, "If his (Solana's) talks with Iranian officials would be based on such negative prejudgments, we can assume in advance that the EU Foreign Policy Chief has been deceived." He all the same expressed hope that during Solana's visit of Tehran, relying on consultations with him, and his kind cooperation, a wise solution to the lingering dispute between Iran and the West over our peaceful nuclear program would be sought. A reporter asked Iran's stand regarding US presidential election hopeful Barak Obama's anti-Iranian remarks made at a meeting with the US Zionist lobby. Dowlatyar said, "Keeping in mind that the audience were extremist Zionists, we can assume that Mr. Obama made those comments to collect more votes, but we hope he would act more rationally in the future if he would win the election." The Iranian diplomat reiterated, "All the same, the Islamic Republic of Iran has got used to hearing harsh remarks, but our policies are made based on the actual deeds of the other side, and we hope the countries' leaders would heed the interests of their nations, rather than their personal feelings and other countries' intrigues." In reply to another question on Iran's reaction to possible victory of Obama at US Presidential Elections, he said, "Entering talks with the US officials depends on drastic changes in the behavior of the country and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is naturally ready for negotiations with any legitimate government that behaves rationally, welcoming proposals for such talks." Referring to the issue of Iran's package of incentives, Dowlatyar emphasized, "The Spanish officials have evaluated the contents of this package to be very positive." He pointed to the friendly advises made by the Spanish Government regarding Iran's package of incentives, reiterating, "This is a very comprehensive package, in which not only proposals for solving the nuclear issue, but also solutions for many major problems with which the mankind is entangled, regional crises, and energy security in their general and particular senses of the words are included." Dowlatyar reiterated, "Iran's proposed package of incentives is a permanent paradigm for comprehensive cooperation among world nations." A reporter asked Iran's stand regarding international inspection proposal of the Syrian nuclear site bombed by Israel. Dowlatyar said, "Firstly your question is based on a wrong assumption since the Syrians have proved logically that the bombed building had not been a nuclear site at all, but secondly, that was an obvious breaching of the international laws by Israel, and that was neither the first, nor the last time that the Zionist regime is thus trampling upon other nations' most natural rights." He reiterated, "There are numerous crisis points in the Middle East, West Asia, and... that have negative effects on world nations' interests, and particularly on international peace and security, which is why the Islamic Republic of Iran can play an effective role and serious and constructive cooperation in crisis solving in such regions in its own vicinity." The Iranian Foreign Ministry officials set example of the four-day Doha talks among Lebanese officials that were on the verge of full failure, but were turned into a big victory relying on Iran's fruitful mediation, while such countries like the USA and France that consider themselves influential in the region remained there merely as observers.
