(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Speaking during a weekly press briefing here in Tehran on Tuesday, Mehman-Parast noted the current conditions in Syria, and said the Damascus government is ready to materialize those popular demands which serve Syria's national interests under a peaceful atmosphere.
"But what causes instability and insecurity in Syria and an American-Zionist stream is striving to promote in our region is the other countries' meddling in Syria's internal affairs and destabilizing this country to open an escape path for the Zionist regime," he said, asked to comment on the recent remarks made by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Syria's development.
The spokesman advised all the regional countries to keep vigilant against American-Zionist plots in the region, and underlined that the regional states "should not allow the United States and the Israeli regime to secure their interests through destabilizing those countries which are standing in the frontline of confrontation against the Zionist regime of Israel".
He further reminded the western states' dual approach towards similar developments in the region, and said while the western countries launch a military raid on Libya to guarantee future oil deals and kill scores of civilians in their strikes on the Arab state, they ignore similar popular demands in Yemen and Bahrain, "and this double-standard approach of the West is unacceptable".
