Iranian President has slammed unauthorized military presence of foreign forces in Syria, calling for an end to such “illegal” intervention.
“From our viewpoint, the presence of foreign forces in Syria without authorization of the country's government is illegal and must be stopped,” Hassan Rouhani said in Tehran on Tuesday ahead of his flight to the Turkish capital city of Ankara.
Rouhani and his Russian and Turkish counterparts, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, respectively, will discuss the ongoing situation in the war-torn Arab country on Wednesday.
The important point about the trilateral summit is total exclusion of Western countries, especially the United States, despite claims by Washington that it has been playing a leading role in the fight against terrorist groups in Syria.
