'Istanbul meeting is oriented on "giving Israel a breathe of fresh air"'

The real name of the Syria issue conference in Istanbul could be called a "Conference of bribing Israel", Chairman of Iranian Parliament Ali Larijani said this morning during the parliamentary meeting, FARS reported.

The "Friends of Syria" group meeting was held in Turkey on April 1. Russia was officially invited to participate but refused, while Iran did not receive any invitation at all. First such meeting took place in Tunisia on Feb. 24, where China and Russia did not participate.

Larijani underscored that this meeting is oriented on "giving Israel a breathe of fresh air".

"Regional countries call Assad's regime a dictatorship, while they themselves have such regimes. And now, they want to provide Syria with military aid," Larijani said. "This kind of military aid is to cause destabilization in the region and to break down the resistance against Israel".

Considering this, the conference should have been called differently, Larijani added.

Addressing the participants of the "Friends of Syria" conference, Larijani said that Iran condemns fake slogans that aim to support democracy.
