Iranian CDA was summoned by Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Today, at 15:00, Chargé d’Affaires of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Prague was summoned by Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tomáš Pojar, 1st Deputy Minister, on behalf of Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Kohout, categorically rejected Iran’s claim that positions expressed by the EU and its member states constitute illegitimate interference in Iran’s internal affairs.The EU has the right to express its questions on whether the objective criteria of a transparent and democratic electoral process have been upheld in any country. The Presidency expressed again its deep revulsion at the documented police violence against peaceful protesters in Iran after the elections.
In this respect, the Presidency invited EU member states to consider summoning heads of Iranian missions in all EU countries to transmit the same message to Iranian authorities.
