TEHRAN, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday called for lifting Western sanctions on Syria, according to the ministry's website.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi slammed the renewal of European sanctions on Syria and recent introduction of new financial bans against the country as "unlawful and inhuman."
"Most of sanctions' negative consequences and harms will be borne by the ordinary people and citizens of Syria," he said.
"Iran expresses solidarity with the resilient nation and government of Syria and calls for the lifting of all anti-human sanctions against Damascus so that the Syrians can meet their basic needs and repair the damage caused by Western-backed terrorist attacks against the country's infrastructure," said Mousavi.
