MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani on Tuesday accused EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell of colonial mindset after the European official compared Europe to a "garden" and the world beyond it to a "jungle."
"The garden/jungle metaphor arises from an utterly unacceptable colonial mentality which gives the West a right to invade and occupy. That era has long gone. Multipolarity is on the doorstep. EU needs to adopt the realities, otherwise it will continue to decline and fade," Kanaani said on Twitter.
