Pilgrims release shows good Iran diplomacy: Larijani
Iran Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani says the recent release of 48 pilgrims abducted by foreign-sponsored Syrian militants is the result of good diplomacy and relations with regional states.
According to Press TV, Larijani stated on Friday that the release of the Iranian abductees showed Iran’s behavior in regional relations is insightful.
He added that Iran has from the start called for political reforms in Syria because to establish security in the crisis-stricken Arab nation reforms must be implemented first.
Larijani pointed out: “Certain Western states used to think that they could simply succeed in achieving their objectives in Syria. A number of regional countries that pursue certain political desires have added fuel to this fire.”
The Iranian official said Western and regional countries have now come to realize that they cannot solve the Syrian conflict through military intervention and by sending arms to Syrian rebels.
Larijani said countries involved in the Syrian crisis will find out in the future what trap they have fallen into. He added: “The interesting point is that certain countries that know nothing of democracy are claiming to be advocating democracy in Syria.”
