Iran: Syrian army should not be weakened
Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has said that Syrian Army, the vanguard of campaign against Zionist regime should not be weakened.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of meeting with Holy Qur’an reciters and memorizers from the armed forces of the Islamic states hosted by the Islamic Republic of Iran,according to IRNA.
He told reporters that the crisis in Syria should be resolved through peaceful means and national dialogue between the warring parties.
He strongly opposed to interference of aliens in the country which brought harmful consequences for the Syrian people.
The Syrian problems have roots in covert and overt interference of the Zionists, he said adding that Iran has always adopted a rational stand toward Syria.
“On deployment of Patriot missiles along Turkish border with Syria, he said the move is not useful. We believe it will create misunderstanding among countries in the region.”
