Iranian President to Visit Turkey: Ambassador

By
Golrokh Askarieh
-
Hassan-Rouhani

The visit will be aimed at attending the third High Council for Iran-Turkey Strategic Cooperation, Bigdeli told reporters on Saturday at the end of his diplomatic mission in Ankara.

“Friendly relations between Iran and Turkey gives us the assurance that the ties are on the right and positive track, and that the path will be continued in the long-term,” he said.

However, Bigdeli added, it is possible that problems and tensions emerge at any time, but one should ensure the required mechanism for resolving such issues is available.

Elsewhere, the Iranian envoy highlighted the role of media in influencing the ties between Tehran and Ankara, saying that their role in this regard is a decisive one regardless of the level of ties between the two countries.

Since Iran and Turkey enjoy an excellent level of ties, it can be concluded that the media have played their positive role in the best way possible, he added.

Rouhani’s visit will come after Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made an official visit to Tehran at the invitation of his Iranian counterpart back in April 2015.

Iran has sent 4 million barrels of its oil to Europe. This was the first move by the country to show the world that it is serious about increasing its crude oil exports by at least a million barrels per day within a short period after the removal of sanctions. Aside from that, there is much excitement in political circles about the list of candidates for the Parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections in late February. Each political faction releases the names of their favoured candidates and tensions are running high between leaders of the parties in trying to convey the merits of their choices to the nation. The Munich accord, bringing rising hope for the restoration of peace in war-torn Syria, was also commented upon by Iranian papers on February 14, 2016.

Iran, France Mull Nuclear Cooperation

Iran Condemns US Blacklisting of Its Nuclear Chief

Talks have been held with France on nuclear cooperation, Ali Akbar Salehi told the YJC news agency on Saturday.

“There is a megaproject in France, called ITER, and preparations have been made for (nuclear) cooperation (with ITER),” Salehi added, but did not offer details on the program.

He also said the list of countries that have expressed readiness to launch nuclear cooperation with Iran includes South Korea, Japan and China, noting that Italy and Germany have also voiced preparedness to work with Iran in scientific fields.

Rising interests in nuclear cooperation with Iran follows the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a lasting nuclear deal between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) that took effect on January 16.

The JCPOA has terminated all nuclear-related sanctions on Iran, reopened the doors of foreign investment to the country’s market, and prepared the ground for a much-anticipated economic boom.

Iran’s Air Defense Vows Full Advisory Support for Syria

Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili stressed that if asked by the Syrian government, Iran will vigorously offer advisory help to the Syrian forces in the air defense field, making a reference to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei’s assertion that Tehran’s support for the allies comes in the form of advisory help.

As regards the speculations on Saudi Arabia’s decision to deploy ground troops to Syria, the commander argued that any presence in Syria without coordination with the Damascus government will be doomed to failure.

Iran, a close ally of Syria, has been supporting the legitimate Syrian government in the fight against terrorists.

Tehran has already made it clear that its assistance to Syria is confined to consultation and advisory help.

Syria has been mired in a civil war since 2011, with government forces fighting an assortment of militant groups, including the Daesh (ISIL) terrorists.

Araqchi made the remarks in a meeting of Isfahan Governor General, mayor, head of Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture of Isfahan province.
He highlighted the role played by tourism to boost national economy.
He said that the JCPOA provided a golden opportunity to resolve Iran’s economic problems and pave the way for Iran’s advancement and economic development.
Araqchi stressed that the Foreign Ministry is the path opener, while the people and economic activists should use this opportunity to develop their international activities.
Meanwhile, Araqchi advised the private sector activists that signing international memoranda of understanding and agreement is the first steps to keep up with the protocols.
He said that the private sector can do the job freely without going through such procedures.

Iranian Island and Italian Town Become Sister Cities

In a ceremony held in Italy, Iran’s largest Island, Qeshm, became a sister city to the Italian commune of Vimodrone, a municipality in the province of Milan.

The ceremony, which was entitled “Persian Night,” was held on Friday in Milan, and was attended by the Iranian consul, as well as a group of Iranian and Italian tourist industry agents who reside in the European country.

During the ceremony, a plaque was also unveiled which displayed the sisterhood of Qeshm and Vimodrone, the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA) reported.

In the ceremony, Antonio Brescianini, the mayor of Vimodrone (14 kilometres northeast of the city of Milan), spoke about what he had seen during his visit to Iran, and hailed Iranian tourist attractions as well as the country’s cuisine, which he described as a “unique experience”.

The ceremony was held at the end of the second day of Milan’s BIT Fair, one of the world’s leading tourism exhibitions.

In this ceremony, Mohammad Jozi, the Iranian consul-general in Milan, hailed the “glorious” and “fitting” design of Iran’s pavilion in the 36th edition of Italy’s tourism exhibition, which resembled a classical Persian garden.

He also highlighted plans for the expansion of Iran-Italy ties after the recent nuclear deal between Tehran and various world powers, which took effect on January 16, and terminated all nuclear-related anti-Iranian sanctions.

The International Travel Fair, known as BIT (Borsa Internazionale del Turismo), is an event that brings together trade agents from all over the world, a large audience of visitors, travel lovers, television reporters and journalists.

BIT takes place every year, since 1980. Over the years BIT has been an international meeting point for decision makers, professionals, buyers, sharply outlined and selected, coming from different areas, and industry fields.

Perhaps a small exhibition, but surely with great goals and achievements

Mansour Amini emphasized the boundary-crossing function of cyberspace in stimulating the world’s curious minds, especially the youth of today. He also stressed the need for better exploitation of this channel for scientific exchange and knowledge accumulation. He requested robust support from the relevant authorities, and also asked that considerable attention be paid in Iran’s 6th Development Plan to the threats posed by new communication technologies.

 

Referring to the fact that authorities must be vigilant towards enemy threats, the head of the Seraj Cyberspace Organization and the Secretary of the Islamic Revolution Digital Media Fair and Festival said, “The executive authorities in the post-sanction period should trust the revolutionary, talented and elite youth in this field, instead of allowing foreign IT companies to take over.”

He spoke at the opening of the 3rd Fair and Festival on Islamic Revolution Digital Media about the incredible amount of effort by the Islamic Revolution Popular Front in cyberspace, saying “Cyberspace is both a threat and an opportunity.”

Amini continued, “Unfortunately, we don’t yet have something called a National Information Network. In this deplorable situation, cyberspace is neither an absolute opportunity nor an absolute threat. It is our performance which will determine the outcome.”

The Secretary of the Fair called attention to the Supreme Leader’s remarks this year about the capacity and threats of cyberspace. The Supreme Leader had said, “Today we are in a virtual intellectual battle. This battle is not against our interests in any means – in fact it’s in our interests. If we enter this battleground, taking what we need from Islamic thought and using the reservoirs of divine teaching, then victory will surely be ours.”

Amini emphasized the boundary-crossing function of cyberspace in stimulating the world’s curious minds, especially the youth of today. He also stressed the need for better exploitation of this channel for scientific exchange and knowledge accumulation, as well as listing the threats of new communication technologies, which included: “Degrading merit, spreading mental doubt, weakening beliefs, espionage and stealing information, serving Zionism and the inversion of the truth, targeting children and teenagers to disrupt local education, creating feelings of disillusion and humiliation in the youth, in addition to imposing Western thoughts and destroying other societies’ cultures in order to proliferate Western lifestyles.”

Mansour Amini reminded the audience of the necessity of spreading the activities of the Islamic Revolution Popular Front and asked the responsible authorities to take cyberspace threats seriously. He declared, “Today, our concerns with cyberspace are not political – they are about attacks on people’s beliefs and faiths.”

 

The Fair – Small but Great

The head of the Seraj Cyberspace Organization described the outstanding technical and vocational empowerment of thousands of Iranian specialists in new information and cyber communication technologies. He said that the main goal of this festival is to create an opportunity, through the Seraj Organization, for digital cyberspace activists to get to know each other, to exchange facilities and make scientific and professional connections.

He spoke of the diversity of activities in the field among more than 300 units in attendance at the festival, saying, “Unfortunately, limited facilities, and the exhibition location size allowed us to accept only half of the 600 applicants for the 3rd Fair and Festival on Islamic Revolution Digital Media. We have tried to host a spectrum of cyberspace activists to exhibit and introduce their latest achievements over these 6 days. In this fair – which might seem small in quantity but is great in quality and substance – there are participants from online media activists, programmers, information technologists, mobile application producers, animation activists, etc. Some of them have developed unique and creative projects, such as a cyber-program for ending drug addiction. Also, there are workshops being held for visitors during the exhibition, under the subject of “User Education in Cyberspace”.”

Amini emphasized, “The government should consider national empowerment in the post-sanctions era and trust in the power of youth.” He continued, “The executive authorities in the post-sanction period should trust the revolutionary, talented and elite youth in this field, instead of allowing foreign IT companies to take over.”

 

We Need a National Information Network!

At the end, the Seraj Cyberspace Organization head mentioned that it is not possible to solve defects and problems solely by setting up fairs and festivals, conferences and speeches, but real action also needs to be taken. He said, “Some of the important points to be considered by the related authorities include: starting a National Information Network, providing local services, supporting a healthy competitive environment among those active within new communication technologies, and helping public and private sector resources to have an active presence in international interactions in the field of cyberspace.” He also complained about the government’s lack of attention regarding the National Information Network in the 6th Development Plan, and asked Parliament members to not to forget the importance of this project whilst checking this program.

Amini finished his speech with some remarks from the Supreme Leader, “Big works sometimes take a generation to achieve. We should continue moving forward. There are many projects that would have yielded results today, if we had started them ten years ago.”
