"Talks of a buffer and no-fly zone (in Syria) is the repetition of previous mistakes and will not help with security and stability in the region," Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was quoted as saying by Press TV.
Amir-Abdollahian made his remarks on sidelines of the 42nd annual meeting of foreign ministers of member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Kuwait.
- Quoting Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, Western media reported Monday that the United States and Turkey have reached an agreement in principle to consider an air protection zone to Syrian moderate rebels who are trained to fight Islamic State (IS) militant in Syria and Iraq.
Iran has vowed "unlimited" support for Syria in its fight against rebels which aim to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
On May 14, a senior Iranian lawmaker visited the Syrian capital, Damascus, to show Tehran's solidarity.
"We have come here to stress that our support to Syria is constant and permanent and we are proud of this support," said Alaedin Boroujerdi, head of Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy commission.

Russian, US positions on Syria getting closer: Lavrov ...
ReplyDeleteRussian and U.S. positions on Syria are getting closer, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday after several high-level contacts between Moscow and Washington this month over the conflict.
"Indeed, I think our positions with the United States are getting closer, first and foremost in regard to statements that there can be no alternative to a political solution in Syria," Lavrov told a news conference.
Lavrov criticized Washington for supporting some of the armed opposition groups fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad, saying Russia considered this approach "short-sighted."
