دخالت اتحاديه اروپا در جزاير سه گانه ايران عزيز

To:  Distinguished Members of The Council of the European Union

We the undersigned are hereby submitting our strong objection to statements made in the joint communiqué released at the 15th GCC - EU Joint Council and Ministerial Meeting in Manama on April 5, 2005.

In paragraph 6.1.4. the EU ministers have once again categorically sided with Abu Dhabi's illegal territorial claims against Iran. Their disgraceful corroboration with UAE on their territorial claims against that country and reaffirmation that the two sides must negotiate or refer the case to international arbitration is against all international norms and an unmistakable interference by EU in a matter beyond its jurisdiction or concern.

The (P)GCC was created in response to Saddam’s aggression at the onset of Iran-Iraq war with the aim of coordinating resistance to outside intervention in the Persian Gulf. Considering that Abu Dhabi's claim on Iranian islands is completely illegal, this latest meddling by the European Union is an outrageous act infringing on Iran's national dignity and territorial integrity.

We do not condone this action and believe this type of interference by the EU can only lead to creation of a legal precedence and international consensus in support of UAE’s baseless claims that must be condemned in the strongest terms.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
