Tehran, SANA- Iran has stressed that the US recent approach to set up an armed militia in north-eastern Syria is considered as a blatant intervention in Syria’s internal affairs and aggravates the crisis in it.
“The formation of new armed militia north of Syria is considered a clear example of blatant intervention in internal affairs of other countries and creates more instability in them” IRNA News Agency quoted Spokesman of Iranian Foreign Ministry, Bahram Qasemi, as saying in a statement Tuesday.
“The new approach adopted by the US is revealed at a time when the Syrian Arab Army and its allies have achieved great victories in the fight against Daesh (ISIS) and al-Nusra Front terrorists,” he added.
