UNSC Resolution on Syria Truce Effective to Fight Terrorism

Special Advisor to Majlis Speaker for International Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian called for international resolve for fighting terrorism, saying that the UNSC Resolution to support the Syrian ceasefire is effective to fight terrorism.

Talking to reporters on Sunday, he said that the resolution issued by the Security Council last night is an effective measure to help the international drive against terrorism.

Role of Russia and companion of Turkey in the issue are very significant, but in the absence of serious international resolve, it will surely fail, he said.

Amir-Abdollahian further noted that despite the fact that the Americans did not veto the resolution, they still have double standard policy toward terrorism.

They have always broken promises and have not adopted well-calculated approach toward the international campaign against terrorism, because they always think of their interests, he said.

As to the upcoming Syria Peace Talks due to be held in Astana and kazakhstan, Amir-Abdollahian said that naturally, the meeting has had preliminaries whose first stage was victory of resistance in Aleppo, a major step on which Syrian people and government should be congratulated.

The second step was ceasefire in Syria which was supported by the Security Council, he said, noting that the cases pave the way for a meeting due to be held in Kazakhstan to materialize the diplomatic approach on Syria.
