‘Terrorists hinder Syria aid delivery’

Iran says organized terrorist groups in Syria are the main obstacle in the way of delivering humanitarian aid to the Syrians trapped in the country’s conflict.

Addressing a UN General Assembly meeting on the humanitarian situation in Syria on Tuesday, Iranian Ambassador to the UN Mohammad Khazaei expressed deep concern over the humanitarian situation in Syria and said organized terrorist groups in the Arab country hinder assistance to the Syrian people and threaten the stability of both the Middle East and the world. 

The Iranian diplomat pointed to the situation of some 2.5 million Syrian refugees in other countries, especially those neighboring Syria, stressing that the crisis in the Arab country needs a domestic solution.

He called for immediate international action to broker constructive dialog between the Syrian government and the true opposition with the aim of putting an end to the crisis.


The grounds should be prepared for the Syrian people and the true representatives of the opposition to hold constructive diplomatic talks with the government to find a Syria-Syria solution out of the crisis and it is necessary that all countries help the Syrian nation find a suitable solution, he said.


Syria has been gripped by deadly violence since 2011. Over 130,000 people have reportedly been killed and millions displaced due to the unrest.

According to the United Nations, Syrian refugees fleeing the conflict in the Arab country are about to be the biggest refugee population in the world.

UN refugee chief Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday that nearly 2.5 million Syrians have now registered as refugees with the UN Refugee Agency in neighboring countries in the Middle East, adding “Syrians are now about to replace Afghans as the present biggest refugee population worldwide.”
