| Turkey 'should inform Iran about Asgari' |
| 2007-05-30 |
| A top Iranian official has called on Turkey to provide Iran with information about the fate of missing former Iranian Deputy Defense Minister Alireza Asgari. Head of Iran's Strategic Defense Research Center Rear Admiral Ali Sha'mkhani made the remarks on the sidelines of the 17th International Symposium on the Persian Gulf on Tuesday. "Turkey has not responded to Iran's calls," he added. The former defense minister also noted that there is no clear evidence in this regard except media rumors. Alireza Asgari, 45, retired from office two years ago. He was on a business trip to Syria and then Turkey for his olive oil business when he checked in at the Hotel Ceyran in Istanbul on 7 December. He disappeared two days later. Iran has accused the CIA, Mossad, and the British MI6 of a joint plot to kidnap Asgari in order to fabricate unfounded charges against Tehran. |
