Iranian Assyrian: U.S. Rights Charges ‘Worthless’



TEHRAN (Press TV) -- An Iranian Assyrian Christian said Sunday U.S. President Donald Trump’s ostensible concern about the rights of religious minorities in the Islamic Republic is "absolutely worthless.”
"We have always announced in different occasions that we don’t need guardians or protectors from outside. We don’t need the self-proclaimed protectors of democracy and human rights to express concern about our rights inside Iran. We don’t need them to feel pity for us. They really need to stop this stupid show,” Yonathan Betkolia, the representative of Assyrians in Iran’s parliament, said.
