Salehi urges West to be realistic on Syria

Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi has called on the West to take a more realistic approach to the crisis in Syria, Press TV reports.

“We all have to recognize the fact that there is a government in Syria that is not ready to step down and nobody – no external power or any other country in the region – has the right to ask the government of Syria to step down,” Salehi said on Thursday.

The Iranian foreign minister also called on the Syrian government and the opposition groups to resolve the crisis through dialogue.

Salehi said that only democratic elections under the UN supervision could guarantee that the Syrian people decide for the future of their country. He added that violence must end before such elections could take place.
