IRNA - Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani said on Tuesday that certain countries once tried to bring the Syrian nation to their knees through military operations and they are now trying hard to exert political pressures.


Larijani made the remarks in a meeting with the head of Syria-Iran parliamentary friendship group Mohammed Hussein Raghib al-hussein.

'Astana talks are on the right tracks and 'we hope the Syrian nation would obtain what they deserve,' he said.

All should take advantage of the current international atmosphere to the favor of Syrian nation, Larijani added.

The Islamic Republic of Iran spares no efforts to maintain dignity of Syrian nation and government, he said.

Many Iranian companies are ready to play significant role in reconstruction of Syria, Larijani further said.

The Syrian envoy, for his part, said both Iran and Syria have proven that they are harbinger of peace and friendship in the world.

Our enemies never leave us alone as they have suffered huge blow in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, he said.

Syrian Ambassador Adnan Mahmoud who was present in the meeting said document of cooperation between Iran and Syria have been written and should be signed by both parties at the earliest to promote and bolster economic affinity between the two sides.
