TEHRAN, Oct. 28 (MNA) – The foreign ministers of Iran, Russia, and Syria addressed the journalists in Moscow at a joint press conference following their trilateral meeting on Friday.

“We are making efforts to reopen Syrian peace talks according to the international resolutions,” said Sergey Lavrov, the Foreign Minister of Russia at the joint presser along with his Iranian and Syrian counterparts in Moscow on Friday, “however, Washington is still differentiating some as terrorists and some as opposition groups.”

He totally dismissed the accusations over an attack to a school in Aleppo made by Russia and Syria and calling them a fabrication he restated that the documents and evidence have been released.

“The terrorists bar the citizens of the city from escaping the action area and the steps to be undertaken by the three countries against the ISIL and al-Nusra were examined,” asserted the Russian senior diplomat, “our goal is to establish a war-on-terrorism center in Syria like in Iraq.”

“The US breached the bilateral Washington-Moscow agreement by attacking to Syrian forces,” lamented the Russian FM, “the agreements with Washington are based on discriminating oppositions from terrorists, while we do not expect them to manage it in near future.”

The Syrian FM, Walid Moallem offered his gratitude to Iran and Russia for all their contributions to war on terrorism in Syria.   

“On the condition that states who support terrorists guarantee to observe the truce we are ready to agree with a ceasefire in Aleppo but Washington’s policies are at the service of the pro-terrorism countries,” articulated the Syrian senior diplomat, “the West is after relocating the terrorists from Iraq to Syria.”

He stressed that the Americans are not ready to solve the Syrian problem. He accused the US of supporting the policies which favor Takfirists and some countries of the region, “The US is after psychological warfare against Russia, Syria, and Iran.”

The Iranian side, Mohammad Javad Zarif, stated that the three countries are in total coordination in their measures dealing with Syrian crisis.

“We are endeavoring to settle the Syrian crisis with Syrian-Syrian talks,” reassured the Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif, “but unfortunately the terrorists are abusing the civilians in Iraq and Syria as a human shield for themselves.”
