Hungarian envoy summoned in protest at EU’s anti-Iran measures

Tehran, June 28, IRNA – The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday summoned Hungarian Ambassador to Tehran George Busztin, the European Union’s envoy, to be informed of Tehran’s strong protest at the EU’s recent measures against Iran.

The director general of the West European Affaires Department at the Foreign Ministry in the meeting voiced Tehran’s strong protest to Busztin, whose country holds the EU’s rotating chairmanship, due to EU’s putting of three officials of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in the Union’s sanctions list with regards to Syria and accusing them of involvement in suppression of the opposition in the country.

Condemning the EU’s measure, the Iranian official expressed Iran’s strong protest at the hostile and baseless accusation of the EU.

He also strongly condemned the illegal and shameful approach of the EU towards Iran and the Union’s dubious approach towards the regional developments as well as its turning a blind eye to human crimes in Bahrain.

Busztin for his part said he would soon inform Brussels of strong protest of Iran’s Foreign Ministry./end
