Iranian DM: National Dialogue Best Solution to Crisis in Syria

Tehran(ST)-Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi renewed Iran’s opposition to foreign intervention in Syria, and called for a negotiated solution to its existing crisis .

Resorting to national dialogue and domestic talks is the solution to the Syrian crisis, Vahidi told reporters here in Tehran on Saturday, adding that ” intervention by the alien forces in Syria is harmful”.

“The Iranian minister said Iran has “clear logic” on Syria, noting that, “A country and an army which is in the forefront of campaign against Israel should not be weakened.”

Tehran has recently doubled its efforts to settle the problems in Syria which has been experiencing unrests since March 2011 with organized attacks by armed terrorist groups against Syrian security forces and border guards.

On November 18, Iran hosted the Syrian National Dialogue Conference, with the motto “No to Violence, Yes to Democracy”.
