The opening of the Armenian Embassy in Tel Aviv is contrary to the interests of the Palestinian people, said Iranian Parliament Speaker’s Special Aide for International Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

He condemned the decision made by the Armenian government to open its embassy in Tel Aviv, and described this move in contradiction with the interests of Palestinian people, Mehr reported. 

According to him, the decision adopted by the Armenian government in opening its embassy in Tel Aviv is ‘surprising’. “Undoubtedly, this move is in conflict with the interests of Palestinian people and will leave negative impacts on stability and security of the region,” he added.

He referred to the position of Islamic countries on the need to exercise the rights of the Palestinian people and strongly condemned any normalization of relations between Arab and non-Arab countries with the racist Israeli regime.

According to him, friendly relations between Tehran and Yerevan are an important factor in maintaining stability and security in the region. “It is hoped that Armenian government will revise its decision and adopt necessary steps to help the oppressed people of Palestinian,” he said.

As reported earlier, Armenian government decided to open an embassy in Tel Aviv as soon as possible during its government session on Septmeber 19.
