Tehran Hails New Syrian Gov’t

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran on Monday welcomed the formation of a new government in Syria, and congratulated the Arab country’s nation and president on the development.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham expressed the hope that following the June presidential election in Syria and formation of the new government on Sunday, the country would "successfully weather an imposed crisis in light of rapport and national unity”. She also praised the Arab nation for its strong resistance to the foreign-backed militancy that erupted in 2011.
