FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed hope Wednesday that the Arab League, Europe and the UN would support the Syrian government’s bid, seen as a major change in the process of reform in the Arab country.
He also hoped that the international organizations would contribute to the restoration of stability and peace in Syria by paving the way for the referendum to be held.
The senior diplomat also called on the Arab League to fulfill its duty to prevent any foreign interference in Syria, given the situation in the country.
The Syrian government has declared February 26 as the date for a referendum on the country’s new draft constitution that would lay the ground for a multi-party political system.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made the decision after he received the draft from a committee set up in October to draw up the new constitution.
In January, Assad said that the new constitution will replace the current one which endorses his Baath party’s dominant role.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The government blames ”outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups” for the violence, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad. The West and the opposition claim the government is behind the killings of protesters.
