TEHRAN,( ST)_Spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Ramin Mehmanparast stressed that no one has the right to dictate the its own agenda on the Syrian people, who are the only ones to have the right to self-determination and political future.
In a statement to the Iranian Student News Agency “ISNA today,” the Iranian official said that having some armed groups carrying out terrorist operations against the Syrian government and people does not make these groups legitimate, adding that the adoption of such a vision justifies providing oppositions with weapons and military equipment in other areas of the region, similar to what is happening in Syria.
Mehmanparast expressed his country’s rejection to one side control of a state by resorting to violence, weapons and external support, stressing that it is only people who give legitimacy to the government and that no force can topple a government that enjoys the support of the majority of its people.
Concerning Egyptian-Iranian relations in the field of tourism Mehmanparast stressed that the situation in Egypt has not yet settled and the Egyptians seek to attain democracy to their country, noting that the development of tourism in both countries provides the fertile ground for the promotion of bilateral economic relations .
