BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 12. Disrespect for
the flag of Iran is unacceptable under any circumstances, the
Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, said today at a
press conference in Tehran, Trend reports.
According to him, European countries have made certain
shortcomings in fulfilling their duties in protecting the security
of Iranian diplomatic missions.
Baghaei noted that this is considered contrary to diplomatic
rules and principles.
The official said that the Iranian flag was disrespected in
London the other day, and in this regard, the UK Embassy in Tehran
was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Iran's protest on
this issue was announced to the other side.
In recent days, individuals who entered the Iranian embassy in
London changed the Iranian flag and hung the flag of the Shah's era
on the embassy building.
