Jordanian minister of state for media affairs and communications and acting foreign minister Nasser Judeh Tuesday summoned the Iranian ambassador to Jordan and expressed condemnation of the demonstration outside the Jordanian Embassy in Tehran against the Arab participation in U.S.-hosted Middle East peace conference in Annapolis.
According to official news agency Petra, Nasser Judeh told the Iranian ambassador that the demonstration act was "totally unacceptable," noting that the Iranian government should prevent the repetition of such acts.
Judeh said all the peoples in Mideast region are taking part in efforts to achieve objectives of the Annapolis meeting in relaunching a comprehensive negotiations process that tackles all aspects of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The Iranian ambassador said the situation was under control and that the Iranian police had dispersed the demonstrators.
Around 40 countries and international organizations have been invited to the conference taking place in Annapolis, Maryland.
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have been meeting in Washington to set out basic terms for the negotiations.
U.S. President George W. Bush has also had separate talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
In July 2007, Bush announced plans for a U.S.-sponsored Mideast peace conference in a bid to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace talks after a seven-year freeze.
