(Analysis) Larijani Due In Turkey

Ankara, Jan 10, IRNA -- Regular consultations are underway between Tehran and Ankara with Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani due to pay an official visit to Turkey to confer with the country’s high-ranking officials on issues of mutual interests. In addition to study the ways to develop parliamentary cooperation between Iran and Turkey, Larijani is expected to raise the concern of the Islamic Republic with Turkey and other Muslim nations in the context of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union over Israeli attempt to Judaize holy Qods al-Sharif. Tehran has called for concerted action by Islamic governments and the Iranian parliamentary delegation led by Larijani will consult with Turkish officials for collective action of the governments of the Muslim nations to draw the attention of the international community to the avarice of the Tel Aviv regime and its insistence on ignoring the rights of the Palestinian nation. Larijani is also scheduled to hold talks with President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on various topics as expansion of regional cooperation, current developments in Syria, Iraq and Palestine. Larijani will also discuss expansion of regional parliamentary cooperation as well as issues pertaining to General Assembly of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union which is to be held in Indonesia on January 30. Observers say that parliamentary delegations of the Islamic governments will echo the extreme concern of the Muslim nations over continued occupation of holy Qods and systematic violation of rights of the Palestinian nation by Tel Aviv regime./end
