Kiev’s weapons sales to Syrian militants violate international norms, the foreign ministry in Tehran has said | |
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused Ukraine of aiding terrorists attacking Syria and demanded that Kiev stop immediately. | |
The accusations, made by Assistant Minister and Head of the Eurasia Department Mojtaba Damirchilu, were reported by Iran’s Tasnim news agency on Friday. | |
Damirchilu has said that he was aware of reports claiming that Ukraine has been selling weapons to the militants in Syria and helping them with obtaining IDs. | |
Those actions are “a clear violation of the international obligations of governments in relation to prevention and combating terrorism,” he stressed. | |
Tehran has demanded that Kiev “immediately halt” its assistance to “the terrorist groups,” the diplomat added. | |
Damirchilu also denounced accusations repeatedly issued by Kiev officials that Iran has been supplying weapons to Russia amid its conflict with Ukraine. | |
The only goal of such “baseless” statements is to persuade the US and EU countries to supply even more arms to Kiev, he said. | |
Iran “has not interfered in the conflict” and has consistently called for the sides to resolve the crisis through talks, the diplomat added. |
