The Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned German Ambassador to Tehran Hans-Udo Muzel to convey Iran’s protest against publication of some news based on a baseless accusation in a German court against the Islamic Republic.
The director general of the Foreign Ministry’s Western Europe Department took the measure after an unacceptable move by the German Foreign Ministry to summon the chargé d'affaires at the Iranian Embassy in Berlin.
The German envoy was reminded that Iran has been a host and a safe haven for followers of divine religions for several centuries.
“Unlike some countries that have a dark history of systematically persecuting and slaughtering Jews, Iran has a very bright background in promoting the principle of coexistence, because respect for the followers of divine religions has a valuable place in Islam and the Iranian culture,” the Iranian diplomat said.
The director general of the Foreign Ministry’s Western Europe Department said, “We advise Germany to be careful about the traps set by the destructive movements, instead of making accusations against others and fulfilling the Zionist regime’s demands to create fake tensions in order to make up for its recent failures.”
The German ambassador stated that he would notify Berlin about the matter as soon as possible.
