By Gisoo Misha Ahmadi, Press TV, Tehran

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari dismisses the allegations made against the Islamic Republic that Tehran is meddling in Iraq's affairs.

On the sidelines of a ministerial meeting of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Zebari told the Press TV correspondent that the good relations between the governments of Iran and Iraq has prompted Tehran to step up its efforts to secure and stabilize the war ravaged-country.

He reiterated that Baghdad would never let anyone meddle in its internal affairs, dismissing the accusations that Iran is fueling the sectarian violence in Iraq.
