Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman says Tehran’s diplomatic efforts have resulted in the consent of influential countries to national dialogue as the sole solution to the Syria crisis.

“Regional and transregional countries should help to get the dialogue underway and the Syrian crisis must be solved through peaceful means by the people of that country,” Ramin Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.

The spokesman also expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the recent negotiations between Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his Egyptian and Turkish counterparts in Cairo.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s six point plan for ending the crisis in Syria is constantly reviewed in consultations [with other Muslim countries] and we try to focus on points of agreement” he added.


On December 16, Iran unveiled the details of a six-point plan to resolve the ongoing crisis in Syria, which calls for an immediate end to all violence and armed conflicts.

The plan also calls for the dispatch of humanitarian aid to Syrians following the end of all conflicts, the lifting of all economic sanctions imposed against the country, and the facilitation of the return of displaced Syrians to their homes.

It also calls on the Syrian government and the representatives of all Syrian groups regardless of their political and social tendencies to hold talks in order to form a national reconciliation committee.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
