President Bashar Al-Assad enjoys strong popular support,says Roknabadi

Iran once again underlined the necessity of a peaceful settlement of the crisis in Syria, and called on Syrian opposition groups to come to the table of negotiations.

Speaking to Lebanese Al-Manar TV network on Thursday, Tehran’s Ambassador to Beirut Qazanfar Roknabadi stressed strong popular support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad,according to FNA.

“Majority of Syrian people want reform and return of peace to their country and those who provoke unrests, they should respect people’s demands. Opposition groups should come to the negotiating table and take distance from the terrorist groups,” Roknabadi stated.

As regards Iran’s stance on developments in Syria, Roknabadi said Tehran has done its best to stop violence in Syria and has supported people’s demand for reform.

“The current unrests in Syria have roots in a US plot which serves the security of the Zionist regime. Iran’s 6-point peace plan for Syria will prepare ground for the holding of parliamentary election and a new cabinet for the implementation of reform plans under the rule of Assad until 2014 presidential election.”

Iranian officials have recently called on political leaders and religious figures in the region to support Tehran’s 6-point plan to settle the crisis in Syria.
