Iran deplores deadly tourist attack in TajikistanTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - “The Islamic Republic of Iran categorically rejects any link between the incident and any base for training vandalism inside its soil. It is ready for probing into the incident jointly with the relevant Tajik officials.”

He made the remarks after Tajik Interior Ministry claimed there has been a link between Iran and the attack.

Qassemi said such remarks are detrimental to brotherly and friendly ties between Iran and Tajikistan.

He expressed hope that the two sides would boost bilateral ties and do not permit enemies to damage their ties by raising such issues.

Tajikistan’s government on Tuesday accused a banned Islamist opposition party of being behind an attack which killed four tourists from the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The party’s exiled leaders denied any link to the attack and said the authorities were using the incident for political purposes.
