Iran MPs: Syrian ballots battered enemy plots

ff89057702cbc0bc6f12f335e281c7ae_LIranian lawmakers have hailed Syria’s recent presidential election, saying the Syrian nation succeeded in thwarting enemies’ plots.

According to Press TV, a statement issued by 230 Iranian lawmakers on Sunday said “Syria’s successful presidential election displayed the political strength of the Syrian government and nation against the policies of the US and its regional allies.”
It added that the huge turnout of the Syrian people in the election foiled US-engineered plots and strengthened the front of pro-democracy and anti-war countries with respect to Syria.
It emphasized that the election once again proved that the crisis in Syria should be resolved through political means based on people’s will.
The Iranian legislators said the US and its allies must be held accountable for death of tens of thousands of innocent people in Syria.
The statement read “The Syrian nation has an absolute right to seek compensation from countries which have dispatched weapons and terrorists to Syria over the past three years.”
The Iranian lawmakers also expressed hope that the “important political development” would put an end to the country’s crisis and serve as a springboard for its reconstruction.
