Tehran, Dec 4, IRNA – Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif on Tuesday called on university students to get rid of cold-war era attitude to serve national interests. He told a group of students at Tehran University that the old-style cold-war mentality would not help meet national interests and national goals, rather they must explore the current situation with the aim of serving national interests. “Those false thinking that you can ensure national interests with the cold-war era attitude has failed. We are now passing through the so-called the transition period. the transition period means gone is the past and a new form of international relations still to take shape; so we can not say for sure we have a bipolar or multipolar world.” He added, “The current situation is transient making it possible for middle powers like us to move recognizing the situation well, you will be able to promote national interests.
