TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior Iranian and Lebanese lawmakers, in a meeting
in Tehran, discussed the latest developments in Syria, and stressed
the need for the peaceful settlement of the ongoing bloodshed in the
Muslim country as soon as possible.
Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign
Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi Sunday conferred with Hagop
Pakradounian, an Armenian deputy in Lebanon's parliament, on the
necessity of finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Syria.
Boroujerdi said that Iran and Lebanon share a common stance on
developments in Syria. "The Islamic Republic of Iran's approach is
based on promoting sustainable peace and security in the region and
across the world," the Iranian lawmaker added. The Lebanese MP, for
his part, said that his country supports Iran's efforts to promote
regional peace and security and believes that Tehran has played a
very constructive role in averting war in the crisis-stricken country.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country. Hundreds of people, including
members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest
rallies turned into armed clashes. The government blames outlaws,
saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that
the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad. Tel Aviv, Washington
and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots to topple
President Bashar al-Assad, who is well known in the world for his
anti-Israeli stances. Â Â Â
