Russia, Iran backing democratic principles in Syria: Pundit
Press TV has interviewed Mark Glenn, an author and journalist from Tehran, and Michael Lane, founder of the American Institute for Foreign Policy from Washington, to discuss finding a political solution to the Syria crisis.
Glenn states Western countries, which are claiming to be the leading democracies in the world, are expected to allow Syrian people to decide their own political destiny.
It is “absolutely absurd” that certain Western world leaders want to decide “which world leader is going to lose his head politically speaking,” the journalist argues.
Pointing to the role of Moscow and Tehran in the Syrian talks, Glenn notes Russia and Iran took part in the Syria talks to uphold the democratic principles and the rights of the Syrian people as well as play an active role as a balancing force against the “political piracy on the part of the West.”
Lane, for his part, opines that the international peace talks for Syria have brought together different sides of the Syria crisis, but the participants in the summit have only agreed to find a peace proposal that would be acceptable by all parties and bring an end to the conflict.
The most important issue on the future of Syria seems to be the role of President Bashar al-Assad in the next government, he maintains, adding that the negotiating parties still have differences on the future role of President Assad.
