Tehran, SANA- Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and UN Special Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura stressed the need for reaching a political solution to the crisis in Syria.
During a meeting in Tehran on Sunday, the two sides pointed out to the danger of the terrorist organization of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the outbreak of violence and terrorism in the region.
The two sides also stressed the need for exerting efforts by the prominent players at the international and regional levels for reaching a political solution to the crisis on the basis of the facts in the Syrian arena.
The Iranian Foreign Minister hoped that de Mistura would succeed in his “positive and independent role” being the representative of the UN Secretary-General.
Earlier during his meeting with de Mistura, Ali Akbar Velayati, the senior advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, called on Syria’s neighboring countries, particularly Turkey, to seek a political resolution to the crisis in Syria and to not interfere in the states’ domestic affairs.
