(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “All of us, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, are concerned about the tragic situation in Syria and should make our utmost efforts to decrease the pains of the Syrian people and consider their interests as our priority and make our utmost efforts to end the nightmare of the Syrian women, men and children,” Annan said in a statement issued after holding a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday.
He underlined Iran’s important role in settling the regional crises, specially in Syria, and said, “We are scheduled to meet a wide range of Iranian officials and leaders and are waiting for their proposals which can help us decrease regional and international tensions.”
Iranian officials have repeatedly underlined that Tehran is in favor of negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition groups to create stability in the Middle-Eastern country.
In November 2012, Iran 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.
