TEHRAN, Dec. 24 (MNA) � A Parliament National Security and Foreign Commission member has said Foreign and Intelligence ministries are responsible for EU delegation antics.
Mehdi Davatgari�told Mehr News Parliament correspondent the EU parliamentary delegation visited Tehran on an invitation by Kazem Jalali.

�The visit was in line with parliamentary exchanges, and there were special sensitivities over the visit,� he added. �They came to Iran in response to a visit by Iran�s parliamentarians to the EU,� he said.

�Their visit had been cancelled several times, but ultimately, their visit faced with an agreement by Parliament,� said Davatgari. On the EU parliamentary delegation�s visit to Jafar Panahi and Nasrin Sotoudeh in Greece�s embassy, he asked rhetorically that how they met and awarded Panahi and Sotoudeh with Sakharov Prize, �while the story was released outside the country.�

He believed that the event was an outcome of the poor performance by intelligence system. �Foreign and intelligence ministries should be taken accountable for the EU parliamentary delegation meeting in the Greece�s embassy,� he emphasized.
