| 2006-10-26 |
| Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned ambassadors of Belgium and Finland here on Wednesday to hand the former a protest against the invitation by Belgian Senate to leader of Iranian opposition organization Mujahideen Khalq. Director General of European Affairs Department of Iranian Foreign Ministry Ibrahim Rohaym-Bor summoned the Belgian ambassador and expressed to him Iran's dismay at the invitation. Rohaym-Bor lashed out at Belgium double standards in dealing with international terrorism, warning against the negative impacts of such an invitation on the Iranian-Belgian ties. The Iranian official protested the move also to Finnish ambassador, whose country is the current president of the European Union. He underlined the necessity of compliance by all EU members with the agree-upon anti-terrorism accords. |

| #2 The Iranian official protested the move also to Finnish ambassador, whose country is the current president of the European Union. Hooray! Let's hope the Finns reply in Latin. For example: Conspectus rerum Latinus 10/2006 (hat tip: Amy Welborn - Open Book) |
