Iran is to halt its human rights dialogue with the European Union after the bloc condemned what it described as continued abuses by the Islamic regime, foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said in comments published Thursday.
"During the current year, the EU has put forward human rights resolutions with political intentions, and naturally this trend will leave no place for Iran to continue human rights talks," Iranian media quoted Asefi as saying.
He said Iran backed the idea of a dialogue in principle but had warned the EU it was not prepared to continue the talks under such conditions.
"In principle, Iran welcomes talks and cooperation based on mutual respect," he said.
