Iran’s Larijani Leaves for New York to Attend IPU Summit
Speaking to reporters at Imam Khomeini International Airport, Larijani said the summit will focus on issues like peace and democracy in the world.
He noted that during his stay in New York, he will discuss bilateral and regional issues in meetings with his counterparts from different countries.
Larijani further referred to the crises in Yemen, Iraq and Syria and the situation in Palestine and said every Muslim in the world is unhappy about these predicaments.
He said the crisis in Yemen cannot be resolved militarily, adding that Iran seeks unity and national dialogue among all groups in the Arab country in order for a political resolution of the conflicts.
On March 26, Riyadh and some of its Arab allies launched a military campaign against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Saudis.
More than 4000 people, many of them children and women, have been killed in the Saudi-led aggression against the Arab country so far.
Larijani also underlined that the people of Syria must decide for their country.
