Salehi: Meddling of aliens disrupts political reforms in Syria

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, July 25, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Wednesday that continued meddling of aliens hinders political reforms in Syria.

Salehi made the remarks in a meeting with Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Omar Ghallawanji.

Salehi castigated the aliens including the US for intervention and blatant support for the terrorist groups and said that insurgency hinders political and economic reform in Syria.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to its pledges to support reforms ushered in by Syrian president, Salehi said.

Meanwhile, Salehi appreciated the noble stand adopted by Syrian government and its nation in supporting Palestinian resistance movement.

Recent developments in Syria proved that all predictions and assumptions made by aliens and their media hype were of no use and totally wrong, he said.

He expressed the hope that the Syrian government, nation and its army will successfully overcome current sabotage and called for stronger unity and national solidarity to thwart the terrorist threats.

Salehi said that the Syrian government must play its key role in regional and international developments.

He said that Iran is ready to continue with all-out support for Syrian people, adding that common steps must be taken to remove obstacles and hurdles mainly in the economic sector.

The Syrian deputy prime minister, for his part, thanked the Iranian people and its government for backing his country under such sensitive circumstances.

He briefed Salehi on the latest developments in Syria and the inhuman behavior of terrorist groups destroying the country’s infrastructures and underlined that Syrian government is determined to defend the legitimate rights of Syrian people.

Despite of all plots hatched against Syria, the Syrian nation and government are determined to back their president and their army, he said.

Ghallawanji expressed pleasure with outcome of his talks with Iranian officials and hope to witness expansion of relations and cooperation between Tehran and Damascus.
