IRNA � Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said late on Monday that Iran owes its security and stability to its people, as it relies on them in every matter.


In a televised speech on �Iran�s Regional and International Relations�, he described Iran as the safest and most stable country in the region, saying that security is not something to buy from outside the country.

�The Islamic Republic of Iran believes in its people and relies on them,� he said, noting that security comes from public contribution and polls and not from abroad.

Certain regional states want to �buy security from outside� and they are spending huge sums of money to purchase arms from foreign countries, he said.
