Larijani Criticizes US Politicians Approach

Tehran, Oct 23, IRNA – Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said the American statesmen appear to be suffering from forgetfulness or they are faking one. Addressing the Wednesday morning session of the Iranian parliament, he referred to the preconditions set by Washington regarding the situation in Syria and the Geneva-2 meeting. He noted that the remarks made by the US political figures who have said Iran has to abide by the results of the Geneva-1 talks and that the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad must not run for the next round of presidential elections show they are suffering from forgetfulness or prefer to fake one. He pointed to the ballyhoo since the first round of Syria talks in Geneva by “some talkative creatures” saying that Iran must not take part in the conference, he said the result of lack of Iran’s presence in the talks is the current situation in Syria. Iran has underlined the need for talks in Syria, he said, reiterating that those who participated in the meeting but later on failed to abide by its decisions have to explain their behavior./end
