Argentina, Iran to adress AMIA Memorandum

In a move that aims at resuming dialogue over the Memorandum of Understanding reached between Buenos Aires and Tehran, Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman will be meeting his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif today.

According to Timerman, Iran’s approval of the accord will be the mainstay of the agenda the officials will discuss in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly 68th session.
During her speech on Tuesday, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner urged the new government of Hassan Rouhani to confirm whether the MoU has been passed by the Iranian parliament in order to settle a date both for the establishment of the Truth Commission as well as a date for Argentine judicial officials to arrive in Tehran and proceed with the interrogation of five Iranian citizens allegedly involved in the deadly attack.
The bilateral agreement was signed in January this year to probe the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center that took place in Argentina's capital city back in 1994. The so called Memorandum of Understanding sets the creation of a Truth Commission made up of independent legal experts neither of them from Argentina and Iran who will be analyzing the up-to-date evidence on the AMIA attack and issue a report. The commission members will not be in charge of investigating the case with judicial authorities in charge of the AMIA investigation.
