Iranian Envoy Holds Talks with Muallem in Damascus
An Iranian deputy foreign minister, whose country remains an ally of unrest-swept Syria, held talks in Damascus on Wednesday with Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, Syria’s state news agency SANA said.
It said Muallem briefed the Iranian envoy, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, on the wide-ranging reforms being undertaken in Syria in the face of "ferocious attack ... by terrorist groups backed by foreign parties."
Abdollahian stressed Tehran's support for reforms in Damascus and "confidence that the Syrian leadership and people will be able to overcome the current events," SANA reported.
Iran on Tuesday denied any interference in the internal affairs of Syria, its Arab ally, or charges of providing aid for its deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests.
