MP calls for firm response to use of false name for ‘Persian Gulf’

TEHRAN, Dec. 13 (MNA) -- MP Parviz Sorouri of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee urged the Foreign Ministry to take firm action against any country or media outlet that uses false names for the “Persian Gulf”.

The Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee and the Foreign Ministry should take reciprocal action and “punitive measures” against those countries that use fake names for the waterway, Sorouri suggested on Sunday.

The remarks by the MP came in response to the use of fake name for the Persian Gulf in a program aired by France 24 TV channel.

“European and Western countries, by making such claims, are making a great mistake and starting a dangerous game… If a country ignores the official terms set out in the international documents and uses fake names, it has laid the ground for tension and hostility among countries,” he noted.
