FNA-- Head of Tajikistan-Iran Parliamentary Friendship Group Qorbanali Dolatshahovich extended his country's support for the Islamic Republic of Iran's stance in support of the Palestinians' rights.

"We support the righteous stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran in support of the oppressed Palestinian nation," Dolatshahovich said. 

He also praised Tehran for hosting the 5th International Conference on the Palestinian Intifada attended by prominent Arab and Islamic figures. 

Elsewhere, the lawmaker noted the relations between Iran and Tajikistan, and voiced his country's willingness to increase contacts with Iran to further strengthen the bilateral ties. 

Iran has always shown a strong support for the Palestinians' rights. In his inaugural address to the Tehran conference on Intifada on Saturday, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday dismissed the two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as a cover to legitimize the existence of the Zionist regime, and asked for the full liberation of all Palestinian territories. 

"Our demand is freedom of Palestine not part of Palestine." 

"Any plan that seeks to divide Palestine is totally rejected," the Leader noted. 

Over 50 parliamentary delegations and political figures, elites and intellectuals and many state officials from Muslim and non-Muslim countries have participated in the conference in support of the Palestinian intifada.
