Kiev’s weapons sales to Syrian militants violate international norms, the foreign ministry in Tehran has said
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused Ukraine of aiding terrorists attacking Syria and demanded that Kiev stop immediately.
The accusations, made by Assistant Minister and Head of the Eurasia Department Mojtaba Damirchilu, were reported by Iran’s Tasnim news agency on Friday.
Damirchilu has said that he was aware of reports claiming that Ukraine has been selling weapons to the militants in Syria and helping them with obtaining IDs.
Those actions are “a clear violation of the international obligations of governments in relation to prevention and combating terrorism,” he stressed.
Tehran has demanded that Kiev “immediately halt” its assistance to “the terrorist groups,” the diplomat added.
