Germany-Iran-Visit
A delegation of Iranian women lawmakers met here Tuesday with the deputy head of the German Parliament, Susanne Kastner.
Leading the the eight-member group of Iranian legislators, Fatemeh Alia who is an MP from Tehran, said that in talks with Kastner, the German side pointed to issues which simply were not true.
Alia added she updated Kastner on the realities and even invited the top German MP to visit Iran to witness firsthand the realities of the Islamic country.
She lashed out at German officials for believing untrue media reports.
Meanwhile, Iranian lawmakers met also the chairman of the foreign affairs committee Ruprecht Polenz.
Their talks focused on the Mideast, among them the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Iranian deputies reiterated the need for a free referendum in the region.
Another point of discussion was Iran's nuclear program.
The members of Majlis tried to remove some of the ambiguities of German officials and stressed that the case was a legal issue which should not have been forwarded to the UN Security Council.
The meeting also dealt with the issue of Holocaust and other judicial matters which will be subject to further discussions during Polenz's upcoming visit to Iran.
Meanwhile, the Iranian delegation held also talks at the German Interior Ministry on fighting drug use and peaceful co-existence.
The Iranian legislators were also scheduled to meet German deputy foreign minister, Georg Boomgarden later Wednesday.
The Iranian MPs have been in Germany since Sunday as part of the guest program of the German government.
The main objective of the visit was to focus on legal aspects of juvenile crime and anti-drug programs.
