Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here Monday dismissed recent anti-Iran claims of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary General Abdulrahman al-Attiya.
`Such claims do not suit Mr Al-Attiyah given his position and Iran`s relations with regional states,` said Mottaki in an interview with reporters on the sidelines of his tour of IRNA.
Asked whether Iran`s presence in the upcoming PGCC meeting is justified given al-Attiyah`s recent claims, Mottaki said, `Our presence in any gathering will be definitely logical for the meeting provided that goals of such a presence are defined and our interests are given the priority.
Of course, in any meeting there might be those with unfriendly viewpoints and stances.
` He added that `Mr al-Attiyah has raised both true and untrue claims.
I do not accept his wrong claims since they do not suit him or his position.
.
.
So, we reject his claims.
` He added that however, Tehran welcomes al-Attiyah`s efforts in connection with positive aspects of the Iran-PGCC cooperation.
To a question whether Iran will take part in the next PGCC meeting, Mottaki said, `We study invitations and announce out subsequent acceptance or rejection of them on time.
` Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki disclosed codes of two modalities offered by Iran and the G5+1.
`The main issue on table in talks between Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili and the EU Foreign Policy Chief and the G5+1 envoy Javier Solana focuses on resumption of talks,` Mottaki told reporters after his tour of IRNA.
Mottaki said Jalili and Solana are busy preparing grounds for holding new round of talks.
He said to resume talks, two modalities-- one by Iran and another by the G5+1 -- have been set forth.
`There are two codes in the other (G5+1) party`s modality: Freeze- freez and suspension,` said Mottaki, adding, `However, Iran`s modality contains only one code: Agreed Action.
` He concluded that the main prerequisite for decoding Iran`s code in the modality is holding talks.
