FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Speaking at a press conference in the capital Tehran on Tuesday, Mehmanparast said that instability in any Middle Eastern country could bring about insecurity in the entire region, calling for negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition parties, the cessation of violence, and a chance for the Syrian government to implement reforms already pledged by President Bashar al-Assad.
The senior Iranian official highlighted that the West does not seek to facilitate an end to the Syrian unrest, but rather pursues its own policy objectives in the key Arab state.
He said if the Western countries were had indeed been interested in peace and stability in Syria, they should have mediated discussions between the Syrian government and the protestors and should have called on all sides to renounce aggression and should have provided the Syrian leadership with sufficient time to undertake the pledged reforms.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March last year.
The West and some elements of the Syrian opposition accuse the government of being behind the killings. Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, saying that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
In interviews with Israeli news outlets over the past few months, the Syrian armed groups have clearly expressed their vision for the future of Syria and their interest in establishing relations with the Tel Aviv regime.
However, an overwhelming number of the Syrian population has repeatedly expressed solidarity with the existing government.
