Saudi FMˈs comments full of contradictions

Reacting to Saudi foreign minister’s comments on Iran’s interference in Syria, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected claims on presence of Iranian forces there saying that Mr. Saud al-Faisalˈs comments are full of self-contradictory points.

Seyyed Abbas Araqchi Friday in an interview with IRNA added “Repetitious claim on Iran’s interference in Syria is made under such conditions that Saudi Arabia in addition to its obvious military interference in Bahrain and trampling upon the entire international laws and conventions, is today arming the Takfiri terrorists in Syria, too, with different types of light and heavy weapons, and is an accomplice of them in committing crimes against the defenseless Syrian citizens.”
The Iranian diplomat said that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a great country with extraordinary potentials that can be used for promoting unity and solidarity among Muslim societies and solve the problems with which the Islamic world is entangled today.
Araqchi added “It is a big pity that Saudi Arabia is taking advantage of those immense potentials in an opposite direction today.”
He referred the Islamic Republic of Iran’s efforts aimed at cooperation with Saudi Arabia to find a peaceful solution for the Syrian crisis in the framework of quadrilateral talks.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman expressed hope that Iran’s efforts in this respect would be responded positively by Riyadh and shared efforts of regional countries would lead to finding a diplomatic way out of the saddening bloodshed in Syria.
