“We can resolve the Syrian crisis through negotiations and a Syrian-Syrian solution,” Boroujerdi said, addressing the first meeting of the Chairmen of Foreign Policy Committees of the Parliaments of Syria Friend Countries on Wednesday.
He called for global efforts to help put an end to the ongoing crisis in Syria, and said, “Supporting Syria is practically tantamount to supporting campaign against terrorism throughout the world.”
The prominent Iranian lawmaker pointed to the western support for terrorists in Syria, and said, “The biggest blow struck by the US at the international community has been in Iraq and Syria, where it has spread terrorism by dispatching an army of terrorists to these countries, and this is posing a serious threat to all the countries of the world.”
Iran has repeatedly called for a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis. In November 2012, Tehran hosted a meeting between the representatives of the Syrian government and opposition to encourage them to start talks to find a political solution to their problems. The National Dialogue Conference kicked off work in Tehran mid-November with the motto of “No to Violence, Yes to Democracy".
The meeting brought together almost 200 representatives of various Syrian ethnicities, political groups, minorities, the opposition, and state officials.
The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states.
The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.
As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.
Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
