The European Union (EU) will launch a path-breaking dialogue on human rights with Iran in the month of December in a bid to shore up embattled reformists in the Islamic republic, officials said on Monday.
"The European Union wants this critical dialogue really to get results," Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller of Denmark, which holds the EU presidency, said. "There are no preconditions," he told a news conference after talks amongst EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.
"We want the reformists of the Iranian society to be helped by the European Union. They are the majority of the country." (Albawaba.com)
