Iran-Regional, Politics, 7/28/2005

Outgoing Iranian President Mohammed Khatami said on Wednesday there could not be the just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East but by restoring all the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people like the right to return, self determination and building the independent Palestinian state.

In a press conference, Khatami said "Iran is respecting the Palestinian people's decision and does not interfere in the Mideast peace process," noting that "unilateral projects that are serving Israel and ignoring the Palestinian peoples interests would not lead to anything." On the other hand, Khatami pointed out that Iran's foreign policy would not be changed by the change of the government, stressing at the same time Iran's nonstop effort to fight terrorism.

For his part, Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi, said "Iran's policy is based on boosting ties with all states mainly with neighbouring countries because neighbours security is part of ours and therefore we have to augment cooperation between the region countries to maintain economic development and establish security in the region."

"Among Iran's most important priorities are the nuclear file and boosting ties with all states specially neighboring states in addition to cement ties with Europe and find markets for the Iranian commodities as well to follow up the Iranian situation abroad," Kharrazi said.
