Mehmanparast: Interfering States Failed Annan in Syria
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast stressed Friday that the resignation of United Nations envoy to Syria Kofi Annan marks the responsibilities of independent regional states to prevent clashes in Syria much heavier.
In an interview with IRNA, Mehmanparast said that Tehran is determined to continue its efforts to help restore security to the region.
"Intervention of foreign countries, which are against establishment of stability and security in Syria, urges the Syrian government and nation to give a proper response to such interferences through peaceful talks and cessation of clashes," he added.
The Iranian official clarified that "Annan's efforts to prevent arm shipment to Syria and cease terrorist operations did not satisfy the perpetrators."
"They did not help Annan implement his six-point peace plan," Mehmanparast stated and pointed out that" whenever the plan was about to succeed, terrorist operations inside the Syrian territory were increased."
"The move indicates that these countries did their best to bring Anna's plan to failure," he reiterated.
Mehmanparast further called on all countries interested in establishment of stability and security in the sensitive Mideast region to make joint efforts to restore peace and tranquility to Syria and pave the way for peaceful talks between the government and opposition groups.
Referring to Iran's efforts to restore security to the region, particularly to Syria, he said "Tehran will make greater efforts to help settle the existing crisis through cooperation with influential states."
