In Iran, relations between country's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, who is supported by strong group
in Parliament, have strained, some media reported. The tensions aroused
after one of the assistant to president referred at the international
conference to the 1915 Genocide against Armenians committed in Turkey,
a friend of Iran. The statement made Turkey angry while Mottaki had
to offer excuses.
MIGnews agency reported that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his
supporters have been implementing independent foreign policy without
taking in consideration the Foreign Ministry and Parliament. The latest
and most provoking case took place when Ahmadinejad appointed "four
personal assistants to president" without any notification to Mottaki.
In this connection, Mottaki said that he considers such actions
of President as a personal offence and says would retire. However,
lawmakers warned Ahmadinejad that Mottaki's resignation "won't remain
unpunished" and that both president and others must meet the order
of the Islamic Constitution and directives of the Supreme Spiritual
Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, reported the source.
