Leader’s Aide: Iran’s Syria Position Unaffected by Geneva II

International

TEHRAN – Iran plays a decisive role in the region and will continue adherence to its present stance on Syria irrespective of the possible decisions and results of the Geneva II conference, a close aide to the Iranian Supreme Leader underlined on Wednesday, according to FNA.

 “Iran is a decisive country in the region and doesn’t change its view on Syria,” Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel told reporters in Tehran today.

 “The Islamic Republic of Iran prefers continuing its correct path to presence in the Geneva II conference,” he added.

Haddad Adel underlined that Iran’s presence or absence in the Geneva II conference would never affect its stance on Syria.

His remarks came after the Iranian Foreign Ministry in a statement on Wednesday voiced concern over the humanitarian crisis in Syria, and called on participants in the Geneva II conference to find mechanisms to uproot terrorism in Syria.

 “The Islamic Republic of Iran voices serious concern over the presence of the terrorist groups in Syria and believes that any regional and international move on Syria should be defined on the basis of war on terrorism,” the statement said.

The Iranian foreign ministry further stressed that “only attainment of a serious solution for stopping terrorism in Syria can prove that arrangement of the Geneva conference has been a necessary and correct”.

The Iranian foreign ministry warned of the spread of terrorism in Syria to other regional and trans-regional states, and said supporters of terrorists should be blamed for the crisis and should stop sending financial and military aids to the armed groups in Syria.

The statement also underlined the necessity for finding a political solution to the crisis in Syria based on people’s vote, adding that imposing the will of the foreign states on the Syrian people will lead the situation in the country to a deadlock.

The statement was issued as a long-awaited international peace conference on Syria kicked off in the Swiss town of Montreux on Wednesday.
