Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Iran's ambassador in Kabul added: As a result of direct follow-ups through reliable sources until now, it has been determined that the news about the deaths of dozens of illegal citizens at the Saravan border is not true.
He stated: "Legal" dealing with the "illegal entry of unauthorized nationals" is the legitimate right of countries and the border guards of each country are obliged to prevent the entry of illegal nationals.
Kazemi Qomi added: The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to return illegal asylum seekers and deal legally with their illegal entry at all border points. But in this context, it acts completely lawfully, responsibly and based on the long-standing policy of good neighborliness, Islamic compassion and commitment to the provisions of international treaties.
He added: Managing border traffic is a mutual responsibility, and neighboring countries have the duty to prevent the illegal crossing of suspicious elements and unauthorized movements of their nationals, and to adhere to international duties and obligations in protecting their borders.
The Iranian ambassador in Kabul also said: In the frenzy of the lying media, the acceptance of any content requires accuracy, trustworthiness, responsibility and responsible reporting by the news media.
