Tehran, SANA – Iran’s Supreme Leader’s Adviser on International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati reaffirmed on Saturday that his country will continue to back Syria to maintain its territorial integrity and sovereignty.
No external party has the right to speak in the name of the Syrian people as they are the only ones entitled to determine their country’s future without foreign interference, Velayati said during his meeting with Syria’s Ambassador in Tehran Adnan Mahmoud.
He made it clear that any project that goes against the Syrian people’s interests and will cannot be accepted.
Syria is being targeted because of its adherence to its sovereignty and independent decision that is based on the popular will that was well expressed in the recent parliamentary elections, said Velayati.
The Syrian ambassador, for his part, presented during the meeting a review of the latest political and military developments in Syria, expressing appreciation of the Iranian support for Syria in its war against terrorism.
