Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi Iran's Defense
Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi has warned regional countries
over their policies against Syria which serve Israel's interests.
Speaking at the first international demining conference in Tehran
on Tuesday, Vahidi said some of the regional nations' policies are
to the detriment of Syria and benefit of Israel, "Therefore these
countries must pay more attention to the sensitivity of the region
and the adverse effects of such decisions."
"Why do some countries promote civil war in Syria and support terrorist
groups? If they want to help Syria why do not they support the trend
of reforms and referendum which has begun in the country?"
Vahidi said adding, "Supporting reforms that the Syrian government
has begun is the best way to help the Syrian people."
The Iranian defense minister said the Western countries want the region
to be in a crisis every day, cautioning the regional countries not
to fall in the trap of the West's policies to avert a disaster from
happening in the Middle East.
Syria has been the scene of unrest since mid-March 2011, with
demonstrations being held both against and in support of President
Bashar Assad's government.
The West and the Syrian opposition blame Damascus for the year-long
turmoil, but the government says the "terrorists" are responsible
for the unrest, which it says is being orchestrated from abroad.
On February 20, the Syrian President revealed that "some foreign
countries" are fueling the turmoil in Syria by supporting and funding
"armed terrorist groups fighting against the government."
