Syrian government’s relations with Russia and Iran are much deeper than many may think, Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem said on Wednesday at a joint news conference with his visiting Armenian counterpart, Edward Nalbandian.

Russia and Iran had never withdrawn assistance and they were not denying support for the Syrian people’s stamina, Mouallem said. "Conspiracy against this country remains unabated and it’s absolutely clear the conspirers are assisting the militants who’re infiltrating the Syrian territory across the Turkish border," Mouallem said. "Still I’m telling the Syrian people we have friends who’re helping us and we feel their assistance," he said.
