Damascus: Advisor of the Iranian
Islamic Revolution's Supreme Leader for International Affairs, Ali Akbar
Velayati, said that the western countries waged a war against Syria to
compensate for their losses in the regions of North Africa and the Middle East.
In a speech on the
occasion of starting the new academic year at the Iranian National Defense
University, Velayati stressed that Syria's victory over the armed terrorists
groups, USA, and western and Arab countries is inevitable.
He added that some
countries which wanted to downfall the Syrian government are now adopting
Iran's calls for holding dialogue between the Syrian government and opposition.
He highlighted that
the stances of some regional countries, which were arming and funding the
Syrian opposition, have changed in the last period.
Velayati expressed
regret over the stances of some Arab countries which know nothing about
democracy and falsely pretend they are keen on the Syrians and their right to
vote.
He said that the
confrontation line between the East and West is in the Middle East and in
Syria, adding that the presence of US and Russian military fleets in the
Mediterranean Sea proves that a new cold war began, with the Middle East in its
core.
