Spokesman says PGCC claims against Iran are baseless
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Sept 19, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman said that accusations made against Iran in the latest statement of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council against Iran were 'repetitive' and 'unfounded' and an attempt to cover up the link between Wahhabism and its organizers.
Bahram Qasemi made the remarks while commenting on the latest accusations raised in the latest PGCC statement claiming that Iran was politicizing Hajj congregation.
The PGCC statement 'serves as a blame game tool used by one certain PGCC member in response to the global demand for clarifying the relationship between Wahhabism and their official advocates with the terrorist attacks made during the past two decades,' said the spokesman.
He added that imposing 'biased and unilateral views by one conceited member of the council to limited and closed diplomatic circles is already a failed tactic.'
Qasemi noted that the Saudi rulers could certainly not refrain from standing accountable for the death of thousands of Hajj pilgrims by raising such allegations.
During its foreign ministerial meeting in New York recently, the PGCC issued a statement claiming that Iran was to use Hajj as a political instrument.
