Iran: Canada’s Election Underline Nation’s Opposition to Ottawa Radical Policies

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said that the recent election outcomes in Canada proved that the country’s people have decided to return rationality and wisdom to the Ottawa officials.

Afkham said that the Canadian people call on the government to refrain from radical policies and elect desirable members of parliament.

She added that Iran respect vote and choice of Canadians.

On Monday, the Canadian Liberal Party won an overwhelming victory in election. Voters decisively rejected the ruling Conservative Party and placed the Liberal Party far ahead of the left wing New Democratic Party.

In July, the Iranian foreign ministry lambasted the Canadian government’s radical stance towards Tehran.

“The continued radical stances by the Canadian officials against Iran, specially under the present conditions, show that the Canadian government’s approach towards Iran lacks a logical rationale,” Afkham said at the time.

“By following the Zionist regime’s stances Canada’s conservative government is quickly moving towards a self-imposed isolation in the international community and even among its old allies,” she added.

Afkham called on the Canadian officials to step in a rational and wise path against war-mongering and extremism.
