Envoy Conveys Russian FM's Message to Iran's Salehi
TEHRAN (FNA)- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov sent a message to his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi on Wednesday.
The message was submitted by Lavrov's special envoy Sergei Vershinin, who is also Head of the Middle-East and North Africa Department at the Russian Foreign Ministry, to Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Middle-East and Common Wealth Affairs Mohammad Reza Sheybani.
During the meeting between Vershinin and Sheybani here in Tehran today, Vershinin pointed to the recent developments in the region, and stressed that people should enjoy the right to determine their fate without foreign interference.
He added that solution to the current regional crises lies in dialogue between different political groups and the ruling systems, and urged an end to the adoption of military option for such crises.
Sheibani, for his part, blasted the West's double-standard policies towards developments in the Middle-East and North Africa, and said people's demands are in line with countries' sovereignty and independence.
The two officials also expressed pleasure in the formation of the new government in Lebanon as well as reconciliation among Palestinian groups.
In recent months, a wave of revolutions and anti-government uprisings has been sweeping the Arab world.
In January, a revolution in Tunisia ended the 23-year-long ruling of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
In February, another Arab revolution led to the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after three decades of his authoritarian rule.
Since then, other revolutions have also erupted in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain, while anti-government unrests are spreading in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Algeria.
