Nuclear talks showed that other regional and international problems could be also resolved within the framework of logic at the negotiating table, said President Rouhani.
Iranian President Rouhani has reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s opposition to violence and extremism, calling for the restoration of peace in the Middle East and the Balkans.
“Different regions in the world, including the Middle East and the Balkans, should turn into regions of peace and calm,” Rouhani said in a meeting with Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic in Tehran on Tuesday.
He urged all countries to make efforts for a world devoid of violence and extremism, saying, “the Islamic Republic of Iran opposes extremism and violence anywhere.”
He said that ethnic strife and extremism hinder the establishment of peace and security.
Rouhani further referred to a recent nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers and said, “These [nuclear] negotiations showed that other regional and international problems could be also resolved within the framework of logic at the negotiating table.”
