Iran, Syria Stress Serious Fight against Terrorism, Extremism

International

 

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad JavadZarif and his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem in a meeting in New York underlined the two countries’ resolve to continue fight against terrorisms and extremism in the region.

During the meeting on the sidelines of the 70th UN General Assembly meeting in New York on Thursday, Zarif and Muallem discussed the latest regional developments, specially the crisis in Syria.

 

The Iranian and Syrian foreign ministers underlined the need to continue the ongoing fight against terrorism and extremism in the Middle East, Syria in particular.

In July and during his visit to Kuwait City, Zarif underlined that Tehran will strongly stand beside the regional countries in their fight against terrorism and extremism.

“Iran and the regional countries are facing common threats that should be confronted through mutual cooperation,” Zarif told reporters.

The Iranian foreign minister reiterated that the accusations lodged against Iran are not true, warning that such allegations are aimed at the failure of cooperation among the regional states.

“Iran is standing beside the regional nations against the threat of extremism,” Zarif said.

Last month, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, in a joint press conference with his Austrian counterpart Heinz Fischer in Tehran, said that Iran’s priority now is putting an end to the insecurity and bloodshed in Syria.

“Once this goal is fulfilled, it will be time to discuss political issues such as democracy and opposition in the Arab country,” he said.

Rouhani underscored that Syrians should built the future of their country through popular voting and no foreign country can interfere in this issue.

He called for all countries to cooperate for the settlement of the crisis in Syria and reiterated that Iran is ready to sit at the negotiating table with any country or world power to settle peace in the Muslim country, in case the negotiating partner understands that the future of Syria is an internal Syrian issue.
