The successfully reached Syrian ceasefire will further promote a political solution to the conflict and Iran will join supporting efforts at conflict-ridden Islamic state peace-establishment, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Morteza Sarmadi told Sputnik on Sunday.

TEHRAN (Sputnik) � The recently enforced ceasefire in Syria will facilitate a political settlement of the conflict and Iran will continue supporting efforts at establishing peace in the crisis-torn Arab republic, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Morteza Sarmadi told Sputnik on Sunday.

�The ceasefire in Syria is a nice turn for the country. It will help political solutions and move away from military solutions,� Sarmadi said.

Reiterating the special UN envoy for Syria�s approval of the role Tehran played in negotiations, Sarmadi said Iran would continue to support efforts to bring peace to Syria.

�We value the role of Russia and the efforts it made to reach an agreement on the ceasefire and to maintain its compliance to the present day,� the Iranian diplomat noted.

Sarmadi said the relative calm in violence presented a �good opportunity to work on the challenging humanitarian issue in Syria and to deliver aid to the needy.�
He praised the Syrian government forces and its allies for abiding by the truce, but warned that belligerent armed rebel groups may violate the ceasefire.
