Iranian President Mohammad Khatami has cancelled a trip to Belgium, Iran newspaper reported Thursday, linking the decision to European pressure and criticism of Tehran's nuclear program and the issue of human rights.
"It is possible that the cancellation of this visit is not unconnected to the recent attitude of the European Union, which made progress in relations with Iran conditional on its signature of the additional protocol (of the NPT) and respect for human rights," the newspaper said. (Albawaba.com)
