Syria should be given chance to solve own problems: Iran

Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani says the Syrian government should be given the chance to resolve its internal issues and counter the terrorism that has been going on in the Arab state for over four years.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran continues its support for Syria and believes that, with a novel political strategy and initiative, Syrian leaders should be given the opportunity to solve their domestic problems and overcome the terrorists,” Larijani said in a Wednesday meeting with Syrian Ambassador to Tehran Adnan Mahmoud.

Larijani also hailed the Syrian people and government for their resistance against terrorist attacks in their homeland.

“The people of Syria, along with its leaders, have passed difficult times in recent years; and this resistance is admirable in the real sense of the word,” he said.
