Rafsanjani: Post-JCPOA era will be promising for Iran, West

Rafsanjani: Post-JCPOA era will be promising for Iran, West
Tehran, Oct 11, IRNA Chairman of the Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said on Sunday that situation after implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for Iran and West will be very promising.

'In case of removal of the obstacle created by the Zionist propaganda with the aim of preventing expansion of cooperation between Iran and the Western governments, extensive grounds will be available for economic cooperation,' Rafsanjani said.

Rafsanjani made the remarks in a meeting with Polish Senate Speaker, Bogdan Borusewicz.

Political and economic relations between Iran and Poland had many ups and downs but it never halted indicating mutual respect of the two governments, Rafsanjani said.

Referring to the existing crisis in Ukraine, Yemen, some parts of Africa and elsewhere in the world, he said the only solution to all these problems is negotiations and paying due attention to humanitarian issues.

He expressed concern about escalation of hostility in the international community and said that escalation of hostility or bombardment might postpone demands of the nations, but, it could not be regarded as a helpful means, Rafsanjani said.

'Why European union with over 30 countries is reluctant to host some one million displaced people when Iran sheltered over three million of Afghan and Iraqi war refugees during the Iraqi-imposed war and the US invasion of Iraq?' he said.

Migration of over 120,000 Polish refugees to Iran during World War II proved Iran's hospitality and the way it treated with displaced people, Rafsanjani said.

International community expects the European governments, the so-called advocates of human rights to be more generous to deal with refugees, the victims of wrong policies of the Western governments in the Middle East, he said.

Iran spares no limits for expansion of relations and cooperation with Poland and expects the same from Polish government, Rafsanjani said.

Role of Iran in regional development is of high significance in a way that the country is main pillar to restore stability in the region and Poland is determined to broaden relations and cooperation with Iran in all fields, said Polish senate speaker.

Polish people still remember Iran's hospitality toward Polish displaced people during World War II, said Polish senate speaker.

Iran with a large number of trained workforce and ample of natural resources is a good market for Poland which imports 96 percent of its oil demands and 66 percent of its gas from foreign markets, he said.

It is expected that after clinching the nuclear deal between Iran and G5+1, the world powers and the international community not to bring excuses for expansion of relations and cooperation with Iran, said Polish senate speaker.

Some 20 years ago Poland hosted over 90,000 displaced people from Chechnya but arrival of 8,000 dispalced people to Germany and Sweden is a crisis which should be resolved at the earliest, said Polish senate speaker.
