"During the tenure of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada followed the policy of turning a blind eye to realities and has always given priority to dual and contradictory behaviors," said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast. "Canada's vote against the resolution, which supports the rights of citizens, immigrants and religious minorities, was another notable example of such behavior," he added. Mehmanparast condemned Canada's support for Israeli crimes, saying, "Ottawa shows full support for anti-human crimes of the Zionist regime [Israel]." “In light of such contrary-to-human-rights remarks the Canadian government has unfortunately shown that it is not eligible to comment on such issues,” he said. |
Iran deplores Canada's move to vote against a UN-backed resolution extending the deadline for a full and credible probe into Israeli war crimes during its last year assault on Gaza.
