Tehran, YJC. Lawmaker says border guards were kidnapped due to loose Pakistani security measures.
Seyyed
Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, Spokesman of the National Security and Foreign Policy
Committee of the Majlis, in interview with Nasim Online pointed to the kidnapping
of 5 Iranian guards at the Sistan and Baluchestan border by a terrorist group
and said "It is a pity that our border with Pakistan has turned into a place
for terrorist groups’ operations. To solve the problem we need to settle for
serious talks with the Pakistani government.”
Maintaining
that terrorist groups use the not-so-secure circumstances against Iranian citizens,
he said "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially criticized the Pakistani
government since such operations are organized inside the Pakistani soil.”
Naqavi
further stated "If Pakistan is unable to secure its border with Iran, it will
have to ask the Islamic Republic of Iran to take action, because according to
international regulations this is a right for every country.”
