Velayati Stresses on Dialogue to Solve Syria Crisis
Local Editor
The Adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, Ali Akbar Velayati, ruled out any "military solution" to the crisis in Syria and said all Syrian sides should stick to dialogue to end violence gripping the Arab country.
Velayati stressed on Thursday that a "political" solution is the only way out of the deadly conflict in Syria.
His comments came a day after UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura suspended peace talks in Geneva three days after its shaky start.
"As for a peaceful settlement in Syria, the dialogue should be held between the Syrian people, government and representatives of the opposition," Velayati told a press conference in the Russian capital, Moscow.
The Geneva negotiations were halted after the so-called High Negotiations Committee [HNC], a Saudi-backed anti-Damascus opposition group, failed to attend a meeting.
Consequently, the Syrian government delegation blamed the opposition for the failure of the peace talks, accusing it of pulling out because it was losing the fight on the ground.
Relatively, the HNC's pullout came as Syrian Army and allies made significant gains against Takfiri militant groups on several fronts.
In a major blow to the Takfiri groups, Syrian troops liberated the strategic towns of Nubbol and Zahraa near Aleppo on Wednesday, choking their supply lines from Turkey to the city.
