Taghribnews (TNA) - Tehran urges France halt violence on eve of new year

The spokesman of the Iranian administration Ali Bahadori Jahromi has underlined that France should stop the blatant violence against the people of this country who are protesting against racial discrimination.

Violent clashes between the French police and the Kurds protesting the killing of three people in the past days continued with cars being overturned and set on fire, objects being thrown at the officers and tear gas being fired back in Paris.

Earlier Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman had also condemned the violent and racial attack in Paris that killed a number of innocent people.
Nasser Kanaani, while expressing sympathy to the families of the victims, said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran is very concerned about the endangerment of people's lives, especially Muslims, minorities, and immigrants."
Kanaani also emphasizes the need for restraint by the French police in dealing with peaceful gatherings of protesters.
