The Kish Free Zone Organization denied the transfer of the island to the Chinese, saying that some are seeking to exploit the sense of patriotism and nationalism of the people.
Hassan Nowroozi, a representative of the Iranian parliament, said Wednesday to Hassan Rouhani about what the Kish Island delegation said to the Chinese.
Mr. Norouzi, the representative of Rabat Karim, wants to recapture Mr Rouhani's government in connection with the transfer of Kish to the Chinese government.
What are China's "fishing boats" doing in the Gulf?
But Mohammad Reza Saeedi, Economic and Investment Assistant of the Kish Free Zone Organization, told Kish Voice and Communications that the transfer of Kish Island to the Chinese is "pure false".
He said that "according to the rules" no natural or legal person will be allowed to sell land to foreigners.
This is not the first time the issue of the assignment of the island or at least parts of it is raised
