/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Obama Administration should carry out great work
to eliminate the consequences of its predecessors’ policy, Iranian
Ambassador to Armenia Seyed Ali Sagayn told a news conference in
Yerevan. "We must see that US Administration is unwilling to pursue
its predecessors’ policy. Tehran closely follows official Washington’s
statements. We expect them to take concrete steps instead of making
speeches," Iranian diplomat stressed.

Sagayn also reminded of Obama’s statement on Iranian elections being
the country’s internal affair. "I don’t think Tehran’s current foreign
policy led to the country’s isolation. On the contrary, it helped
Iran to become a stakeholder in the region," the Ambassador said.

With regard to Iranian-Israeli relations, the diplomat characterized
the Zionist regime as a "usurper which committed a number of crimes
in Gaza." "Maintaining friendly ties with such regime is out of the
questions," he stressed.
