TEHRAN, April 16 - Iran has said that the Arab League should take steps towards helping restore stability in the region instead of repeating its lies and baseless allegations against Tehran.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi made the remarks early on Monday in response to the final communique of Arab League's 29th summit.

"This statement, similar to former statements, was focused on repeating false and baseless claims and lies against the Islamic Republic, instead of being aimed at finding the source of the region's problems," he said.

"The league's final statement was clearly under the heavy shadow of Saudi Arabia's destructive policies," he added.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman further stressed that Tehran's policies are based on respecting the sovereignty of other countries, and maintaining good relations with its neighbors.

During the summit, Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz criticized Tehran's influence on Arab countries, claiming that it violated the principles of international law.

“We renew our strong condemnation of terrorist acts carried out by Iran in the Arab region, and we reject its blatant interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries,” he said.
