ISNA - Following Iranian deputy Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi�s visit to Bulgaria, the embassy of Zionist regime in Sofia tried to damage Iran-Bulgaria relations by making malicious and interventionist remarks.

Following the visit to Bulgaria by Iranian deputy Foreign Minister, it is important to remember that Iran is not a reliable partner to democracies, the embassy of Israel in Sofia claimed in interventionist remarks.

�Iran�s fundamental Shiite ideology stands in clear contradiction to the values cherished by democracies: individual freedoms and human rights,� Israel�s embassy to Bulgaria claimed, according to Sofia Globe.

�Iran is executing an aggressive, hegemonic policy that constitutes a major threat to world peace and security, including Middle East and Europe,� the embassy also claimed.

While the Zionist regime constitutes a major threat to world peace and security by its illegal activities and interventionist policies, it has been seeking to create obstacles in Iran�s relations with other countries by repeating unfounded claims.

During the visit to Bulgaria, Araqchi held talks with the Balkan nation�s Foreign Minister, Ekaterina Zaharieva, who affirmed support for the Iran nuclear deal, and expressed high hopes for bilateral dialogue between Bulgaria and Iran.
