IRNA � Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi ruled out any connection between a draft resolution and the recent visit of Sweden�s prime minister to Tehran.


�Presentation of human rights draft resolution is not something new and it has nothing to do with recent visit by Swedish prime minister to Iran,� Qasemi said.

Qasemi�s remarks came in reaction to certain media reports claiming that the Swedish premier has visited Iran to discuss human rights issues in Iran.

�We expect the media to accurately study any subject before commenting on anything in the field of foreign policy,� the foreign ministry spokesman said.

�Unfortunately, due to the negative atmosphere created against Iran in a bid to promote Iranophobia current since seven years ago several western countries led by the US and the Zionist regime in a joint effort prepare a draft resolution against Iran in the Human Rights Council in Geneva every year,� Qasemi added.

He said that the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the measures by any country is preparing human rights resolution, adding, �We believe on the basis of our diplomatic principles that such measures are unfair, incorrect and against the realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
