Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the only way out of the crisis in Syria is national dialogue, and voiced Tehran's readiness to do its best to help find a diplomatic solution to end the ongoing bloodshed in the Muslim country.

In a recent interview with Al Jazeera news network, Zarif argued that the future of Syria can only be decided by the “Syrians and the Syrians alone,” adding, “What all of us can do, and I invite all our friends to do the same, is to help facilitate the dialogue among Syrians with a view to finding a political solution and with a view to ending the violence in Syria.”

“Trying to seek a military solution, either from within or trying to invite outsiders to intervene militarily in Syria will not resolve the problem. In fact there is no military solution to the tragedy in Syria,” the Iranian foreign minister pointed out.
