"Baroness Ashton, I was delighted to observe your sober stance, informed by respect for a country with the history and pride of Iran. Iran is a special case and I am delighted that you are applying the diplomatic approach known as ‘smart power’, namely sanctions on the one hand and dialogue on the other. I would urge you to continue with the dialogue.
Usually, countries which condemn such countries are very far-removed from the culture and mentality of the countries of Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. I would suggest that you expand the group which you have set up in order to continue with open dialogue with Iran by adding countries that traditionally have good relations with Iran, such as my country, Greece, especially now with its present socialist government. The region will not be able to withstand another war. I convey here the anxiety, not only of Israel, but also of the Emirates, about Iran’s nuclear programme. Continue with the dialogue and I think that we shall get somewhere."@en1
