Local Editor
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei assured that "Tehran categorically opposes any foreign intervention in Syria and supports Damascus for backing the resistance front against "Israel"."
The Islamic Republic will defend Syria because of its support for the resistance front against the Zionist regime and is vehemently opposed to any intervention by foreign forces in Syrian internal affairs," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the holy city of Mashhad on Thursday.The Leader also expressed Iran's support for the reform process underway in Syria and called for the reforms' momentum to be maintained.
Imam Khamenei further slammed the instrumental view of the hegemonic powers and the US in particular towards the regional states, noting, "The Americans recognize no nation as an independent nation."
Imam Khamenei further added "The Americans treat all countries in this [instrumental] way, and therefore the interests of Islamic countries should be taken into account in decision-makings."
On the recent developments on the regional level, Ayatollah Khamenei said that they have all served the interests of Islam and Muslims so far and will continue to do so in the future.
He assured that "the most important issue at the current critical juncture for the region is that independent nations make "correct decisions.""
For his part, Erdogan called for the expansion of bilateral ties between his country and Iran, in light of the two countries' long-standing historical commonalities.
"We believe that, given this long history of relations, the ties between the two countries should be further deepened, particularly in the area of infrastructural collaborations," the Turkish premeir said.
He also underscored that the delegation accompanying him to Iran is a testament to Turkey's determination to strengthen its relations with the Islamic Republic, especially in the energy sector.
