Solution to Yemeni Crisis Lies in an End to Aggression and Foreign Meddling
Speaking in a meeting with Turkish President Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei added that in Iran’s view, the solution to Yemen’s crisis is a halt to attacks and foreign interference in the Arab country.
His Eminence referred to the crisis in Yemen as one of the problems in the Muslim world and stressed that the stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran with regard to all countries including Yemen is opposition to foreign intervention.
The Supreme Leader also said that the United States and the Zionists are happy with differences among Muslim countries and the solution to these problems is cooperation between the Islamic countries and taking practical and constructive measures.
Ayatollah Khamenei further stressed that regional countries will not benefit from trusting the West and the US, adding that everyone can clearly see the outcome of the measures taken by the West in the region which is to the detriment of the region and Islam.
Referring to developments in Iraq and Syria and violent acts of terrorist groups in these countries, the Supreme Leader said those who fail to see the role of the enemy in the crises in these countries have deceived themselves.
Elsewhere in His statements, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the need for the expansion of relations between Iran and Turkey, adding, “The strength of every Muslim country is, indeed, the strength of the Islamic world and the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that the Islamic countries should strengthen each other.”
The Turkish president, for his part, emphasized the need for the Islamic world to stand on its feet in resolving the existing problems, saying “There are many problems in the region which we should resolve together and one should not wait for the West to resolve these problems.”
He also condemned the crimes committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group in the region, saying that he does not consider the group as Muslim.
Heading a high-ranking delegation, Erdogan arrived in Tehran earlier on Tuesday on an official one-day visit to hold talks with senior Iranian officials.
