“Undoubtedly, rehashing the notion of a no-fly zone [in Syria] will fail to help security and stability in the region,” Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told IRIB on Friday.
He added that the issue of Syria, which has affected security in the entire Middle East region, should be settled only through political solutions.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on February 17 denounced the humanitarian situation in Syria as "unacceptable" and renewed her call for a no-fly zone in the war-stricken country. The idea of no-fly zone was first raised by Turkey.
