PRESS TV - JULY 30, 2014
Iran has
condemned a terrorist attack which triggered deadly clashes between
ethnic people and security forces in China’s Muslim-majority Xinjiang
region.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Marzieh Afkham, said on
Wednesday that the Islamic Republic repudiates any act of extremism and
violence.
Nearly 100 people have been reportedly killed in the clashes.
There are conflicting reports about the Wednesday incident, with
Chinese authorities describing it as a “terror attack” on a police
station and a township, while a Uighur group has referred to it as an
uprising “to resist China’s extreme ruling policy.”
The violence took place in Shache County, or Yarkand in the Uighur
language, near the edge of the Taklamakan Desert in the west of the vast
region.
