“Altogether, signs do not give me much hope because those countries are present in there (in the Geneva conference) that have caused instability (in Syria),” Rouhani told reporters on Wednesday morning before leaving Tehran for Switzerland to participate in the 44th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos on global financial crisis.
The Islamic Republic of Iran seeks establishment of peace and stability in the region and campaign against terrorists, he said, adding that the Geneva II conference could be effective and successful if it pursued the same goals.
