Tehran (A.A) -The Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majles)
of Iran, Ali Larijani, said on Wednesday [11 January] that "Turkey
and Iran's close cooperation helped regional security and stability".
Speaking to the AA in Tehran prior to his upcoming trip to Turkey,
Larijani said that "Turkey and Iran were two Muslim neighbours,
had brotherly relations and were friends".
The cooperation between Turkey and Iran help regional security and
stability and increase the role of the eastern block in the world,
Larijani stressed.
The parliaments of Turkey and Iran are the most strongest ones in
the region. Our parliaments have a crucial role in strengthening
bilateral relations, Larijani said.
The commercial relations between Turkey and Iran are in a good
position. We constantly hold consultations with Turkey on political
issues, Larijani said.
Reminding that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in Iran
very recently, Larijani said that "we hold consultations with Turkey
on various regional issues. At times, we have different views and at
other times we have common views. In general, Turkey and Iran share
friendly relations. The parliaments of the two countries can help
develop relations and increase commercial ties. The parliaments can
also help cooperation in the fields of science, culture and industry".
Touching on Iran's nuclear issue, Larijani said that "Iran believes
in resolving the nuclear issue through negotiations".
"We are not after nuclear weapons. We do not find nuclear weapons
right from a religious perspective. Our Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Hoseini-Khamenei described nuclear weapons and weapons of mass
destruction as forbidden by religion," Larijani said.
In regard to the developments in the region, Larijani said that all the
developments took place while Muslims were searching for their rights.
On the issue of Upper Karabakh, Larijani said that "everyone should
receive their rights through negotiations. A country's territorial
integrity should not be harmed".
