Tehran - FNA
The Iranian foreign ministry reacted angrily to the recent remarks made by Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird against Tehran and accused him of ignoring the regional realities.\"Such remarks are rooted in his lack of understanding of the existing realities in Iran and the region,\" Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Wednesday when asked about Baird\'s remarks against Iran in his recent trip to the Middle-East.During a recent visit to the Persian Gulf region, Baird accused Iran of interfering in its neighbors\' affairs.Mehman-Parast pointed to the basic problems of the conservative government in Canada, including abusing the rights of the Canadian people, natives in particular, and said, \"The Canadian government had better pick up a wise and realistic approach and return to the well-known traditions of Canada\'s foreign policy instead of raising accusations against others.\"Canada has had a very bad track record when it comes to the treatment of the natives and most of the native Canadians suffer poor educational, economic and social conditions, and are among the poorest members of the Canadian society.
