Czech FM: Syria and Iran should not be ruled out from fight against ISIS

Prague, SANA- All possible solutions and allies, including Syria and Iran, must be sought when dealing with the urgent situation caused by the activities of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS, Czech Foreign Affairs Minister Lubomir Zaoralek said on Wednesday.

Communication and possible cooperation with such ‘difficult’ partners as Iran and Syria should not be ruled out, Zaor?lek told journalists on the sidelines of a Brussels meeting of foreign ministers from the countries forming a coalition against ISIS militants, organized by the United States.

Zaoralek said the opinions on this issue were very varied, with some positive attitudes expressed, he added, indicating that some have gone as far as admitting that airstrikes against ISIS positions are “not enough.”

The minister saw that “one of the key factors in the war against ISIS is to reveal the countries supplying [ISIS] with funds.”
