The Syrian government’s plan showed that Damascus “has a solemn resolve to implement political reforms and changes,” Larijani said on Tuesday, adding that, “Naturally, security grounds [for this objective] must be provided.”
“Majlis welcomes reformist measures based on the nation’s vote in Syria,” Larijani added.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence.
In a key speech on Sunday, Assad called for an end to terrorist operations inside Syria and urged "concerned states and parties" to stop funding, arming and harboring militants.
Assad added that his government is always ready to hold talks with the opposition and political parties and would call for a “comprehensive national dialog” after foreign parties end their support for the militants and the terrorist activities cease in the country.
Larijani said the plan aims to implement reforms based on elections and the will of the people and warned the “meddlesome countries” that opposition to this bid is tantamount to “waging war on the establishment of democracy in Syria.”
Larijani expressed regret that, over the past two years, the Western countries and some regional states have “fueled insecurity” in Syria by sending arms and other equipments into the Arab country.
Meddlesome countries must now know that they cannot force changes in Syria by plotting and sending arms and forces to the Arab country, he added.
