‘Old powers should realize day of emerging powers has come’
TEHRAN, June 15 (MNA) -- The old powers should allow emerging powers to play roles in the international arena since a new era is emerging, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said on Sunday.
Larijani made the remarks at a meeting with Turkish Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin.
Larijani said new sanctions were imposed on Iran because the major powers, which believe they own the world, are angry at the fact that emerging countries are playing effective roles in the international arena.
On June 9, the United Nations Security Council voted 12-2 in favor of a resolution imposing new sanctions on Iran. Brazil and Turkey voted “no” and Lebanon abstained.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Larijani said Iran and Turkey should continue cooperation on regional and international issues and utilize their capabilities to expand their relations.
Iran is interested in developing comprehensive ties with Turkey, he said, adding that the expansion of parliamentary ties between the two countries will open a new chapter in bilateral relations.
Sahin said that the Turkish parliament supports the expansion of ties with Iran, especially in the economic and trade spheres, and will facilitate this process.
The Turkish parliament speaker also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Monday.
At the meeting, Sahin said regional issues should be resolved by regional nations through diplomatic channels.
He also stressed the need to increase cooperation between the parliaments of Iran, Turkey, and other regional countries in order to resolve the problems facing the Palestinians, the Iraqis, and the Afghans.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he criticized the countries that have adopted negative stances on the Tehran declaration, saying the declaration is based on diplomacy and negotiations.
Turkey believes that the proposal put forward in the declaration is still on the table, he stated.
Mottaki told Sahin that the U.S. response to the Tehran declaration has pushed it to the verge of checkmate in the international arena.
He went on to say that Turkey, Brazil, and Iran believe issues should be resolved through cooperation.
On May 17, Iran, Turkey, and Brazil issued a declaration, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel.
