Tehran, YJC. Pourmohammadi says corruption is to grow under sanctions.
Minister
of Justice Mostafa Pourmohammadi appeared in a talk show on the Iranian state
TV to discuss judicial concerns.
"I
consider the sanctions as the principal source of corruption. We have even said
that to the United Nations. Economic sanctions in their essence mean the production
and spread of corruption,” he asserted.
Pourmohammadi
also provided comments on his stance regarding Iran’s new diplomacy on its nuclear
case and said "We must not forget that we are dealing with a deceitful,
high-sounded, oppressive rival. It is so much relief that the government has
had a good performance there. Under such circumstances we must avoid unjust
criticism and help the government by being there as firm as we can.”
