TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said Sunday deployment of NATO defense missile shield in Turkey is not a “proper decision.”
As to the deployment of NATO defense missile shield in Turkey, Salehi said, “It was not seriously offered by Turkey that much and has remained at the level of discussion only, in our viewpoint it is not a proper decision if it was going to be made. It needs a revision since there is no justification for it.”
“Regional countries have lived together for decades and for the time being recent popular developments in the region are moving towards more unity,” he told reporters on the sidelines of Islamic Awakening International Conference in Tehran.
As to Omani Foreign Minister’s mediation in the case of the two detained American nationals’release, Salehi said, “Many heads of states have mediated in the issue and we announced their mediation to the judiciary branch and relevant authorities and we hope the suggestion will be welcomed by Iranian judicial officials.”
