The Syrian PM made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Damascus Mohammadreza Raouf Sheibani.
He said that Iran-Syria’s long-lasting ties were established by late Imam Khomeini and Hafez al-Assad which are now being supported and guided by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and are being expanded by Iranian and Syrian presidents Hassan Rouhani and Bashar al-Assad.
“Syria has stood up to terrorism thanks to the unity of its people and army which is scoring daily victories, and the support of its friendly countries”, SANA quoted the Syrian official as saying.
