SHAFAQNA

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) - Iran's chief negotiator Saeed Jalili said in an interview with RT on 15 June 2012 Ahead of a new round of negotiations on Iranian nuclear program in Moscow, the member of the Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Bahrain crisis and people demands for democracy and freedom will be discussed in continuation of Baghdad meeting , May 24, 2012 .

RT: We’re aware that the Iranian leadership strongly supports (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad and his struggle against terrorist organizations in Syria. Given the bloody nature of this conflict, wouldn’t it make sense for the Syrian president to step down as a sacrifice to prevent more deaths?

SJ: Another issue that we brought up at the talks in Istanbul and Baghdad is that we are prepared to discuss regional issues, including the situation in Bahrain, Syria and other similar issues. We think there is a simple solution to them and it boils down to one thing – you need to respect the people, to respect democracy. If the international community demonstrates a genuine desire to debate these issues, then we could come up with a very viable solution. We have consistently called for this in regard to Syria.
