FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Hossein Sobhani-Nia made the remark in a Sunday meeting with Lapo Pistelli, a member of Italian parliament, IRNA reported.
He also said certain countries seek to create tension in Iran-EU relations in order to serve their own interests since they do not favor the resolution of any possible misunderstanding between Tehran and the European countries.
“European countries must not allow their national interests to get harmed under the shadow of other countries’ political objectives,” Sobhani-Nia added.
He referred to ‘the good’ relations between Iran and Italy in political, economic and cultural sectors, and expressed hope that parliamentary cooperation would pave the way for the further development of bilateral ties in different areas.
Iran’s basic principle is to expand friendly ties with regional as well as European countries and to strengthen security and stability in the region, the Iranian lawmaker said, adding that Tehran has used its capabilities and influence to reinforce regional peace.
Pointing to Iran-P5+1 talks held earlier this month in Istanbul, Turkey, Sobhani-Nia described the negotiations as constructive and fruitful, and said Iran always welcomes dialogue in a transparent atmosphere and based on mutual understanding.
The Italian lawmaker, for his part, lauded Iran’s status in regional equations and said any current problem needs to be resolved through diplomacy.
Pistelli described his visit as one aimed at boosting bilateral ties, adding that more enhanced parliamentary relations between the two countries could contribute to the expansion of ties in other spheres.
Iran and the P5+1 comprising Britain, France, Russia, China, the United States and Germany wrapped up their latest negotiations in the Turkish city of Istanbul on April 14.
They agreed to hold the next round of talks in the iraqi capital of Baghdad on May 23, 2012. Both sides hailed the discussions as constructive.
Tehran and the P5+1have already held two rounds of talks, one in Geneva in December 2010 and another in Istanbul in January 2011.
