Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salihi said that Tehran's consultative meeting on the crisis in Syria has underlined the need for resolving the crisis through peaceful means and providing suitable atmospheres to conduct dialogue and consultation between the Syrian government and the opposition.
"The consultative meeting which was held in Tehran today aimed at reinforcing the efforts which seek to offer support to the Syrian people in order to end this crisis and find a fit ground to hold the dialogue within calm atmospheres," Salihi added at press conference following the consultative meeting on Syria.
Salihi said that since the beginning of the crisis, Iran's policy was based on supporting dialogue, understanding and resolution through political means, adding "Iran welcomed and backed the efforts of the UN and the plan of the UN envoy to Syria Kofi Annan with its six-point."
"The unilateral steps and the continuation of intervention in Syria's affairs, according to Annan's opinion, prevented his plan from continuation to tackle the situation," Salihi stressed.
He called on the international community to assume responsibilities regarding the crisis developments in Syria and to take decisive decisions in order to stop foreign interference and prevent escalation of violence through appointing new UN envoy who completes the six-point plan.
Salihi said that the regional developments became more complicated, and this requires cooperation and consultation permanently among all sides which back peace, and use all energies and possibilities to support stability in the region.
The Iranian Foreign Minister clarified that the meeting discussed the Iranians abducted in Syria by the armed terrorist groups, adding "the participants condemned this act and called on the world states which can play a role in this domain to do so and exert their efforts to release the visitors abducted in Syria.
Salihi renewed Iran readiness to host a meeting between the government and the opposition to discuss means of dialogue, saying" Tehran held contacts with the two sides.. the government accepted, and appointed Minister Ali Haidar who showed willingness to come to Iran and hold dialogue with the opposition in case it agreed."
"Some states claim they are neutral, but they interfere in the Syrian affairs," Salihi said.
He added that the Syrian government underlined full willingness to put everything on its normal track, but the opposition parties are different and call for the dearture of government.
Salihi underlined that big changes need time, saying "the government should be given an opportunity, and this is the basic point which Iran has discussed with the oposition.
He called on the foreign sides to offer logical suggestions, based on the reality of the ground, not imaginary suggestions, in order to come out of the crisis eacefully.
"It is wrong to think that the continuation of pressure and the unstudied steps would contribute to isolating the Syrian government as we see day after day a harmony beween the people and the government," Salihi stressed.
He said that the Iranians abducted in Syria are ordinary persons, some of them were retired from the public institutions.. this is normal because nearly one million Iranian people visit Syria annually.
