Iran: Speaker: Iran Ready to Cooperate with EU on Syria

In a meeting with the European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton here in Tehran on Sunday, Larijani touched upon the efforts Iran has so far made to secure peace and stability in the regional countries, like Afghanistan and Iraq.

And now, the speaker added, Iran is ready to continue working in close cooperation with the European Union to help settle the scourge of war in Syria.

Larijani reiterated that the Syrian crisis has no military solution, and flatly deplored western plot to arm the extremists and terrorists fighting in the war-torn country.

He stressed that the Syrian nation should be given the opportunity so that democracy could prevail in the fragmented Arab country during a gradual process.

Ashton, for her part, described the purposes of his visit to Tehran as negotiating with the Iranian high-ranking political officials to explore the avenues for the further expansion of interaction between the Islamic Republic and the EU over major regional and international issues.

On the ongoing crisis in Syria, Ashton underlined that delivery of the humanitarian aids to that country should have priority over the other issues. She also hailed Iran’s significant role in that regard.

The Islamic Republic has so far dispatched several consignments of humanitarian supplies to crisis-ridden Syria since the beginning of war in 2011.
