Iranian FM calls for settling disputes at negotiating table rather than battlefield

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has called for settling disputes at negotiating table rather than battlefield.

In an article published in a Turkish daily, he said our good neighborliness policy as a strategic option for Iran.

He said if we do not walk the path to peace, future generations will not have the chance for dialogue.

The Iranian foreign minister said Middle East is a big house bringing together nations with numerous commonalities and little differences.

He said in such situation, we should not ignore commonalities, and promote conflicts which will have nothing but to enflame animosities.

Highlighting Iran’s proposal to reengineer the region, he said it aims to secure common interests of all the regional states while respecting differences at the same time. APP/AFP
