Iran role vital to solving Syria crisis: Former Lebanese speaker

hussain ul hussainiLebanon’s former parliament speaker Hussein el-Husseini says Iran can play a significant role in finding a political solution to Syria’s crisis.

In a meeting with Iran’s Ambassador to Beirut Ghazanfar Roknabadi on Wednesday, el-Husseini stated that a political solution is the only option to put an end to the ongoing crisis in Syria.
“Iran has had good records and experiences in managing regional and international issues and a prime example of that has been the successful holding of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit [in Tehran in August],” he added.

Roknabadi, for his part, reaffirmed Iran’s stance on finding a political solution to the Syrian unrest saying, “Iran has been doing its utmost to help other regional nations through diplomatic means and supports all international and regional efforts for a political solution to Syria’s crisis.”

Thousands of people have been killed since the Syrian unrest started in March 2011.

Damascus says ‘outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists’ are the driving factor behind the unrest and deadly violence while the opposition accuses the security forces for the killings.

The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country and accuses Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey of arming the opposition.
