Presidents of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation had a telephone conversation late on Monday and discussed the most important bilateral, regional and international issues.
During the conversation, Dr Rouhani stressed the need for Iranian and Russian governments to support the Syrian people during the current hard times, adding: „It is very important that the Syrian people feel that they are not alone in their fight against terrorism“.

Slamming on the West‘s inattention towards the innocent people in Syria who are under the terrorists‘ oppression, he said that Tehran and Moscow should further deepen their consultation and cooperation in this regard and continue delivering medicine and food supply to the Syrian people and also encourage other countries to send these kinds of aids.
