Rapporteur: 8 Iranian MPs to visit Syria next week

Rapporteur of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Seyyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini declared that eight lawmakers, including four minority MPs, are planning to a pay a visit to Syria in the coming days.

"Several members of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission will visit Syria next week to felicitate them over their victories after liberating Aleppo city," Naqavi Hosseini told FNA on Wednesday.

The senior lawmaker noted that eight lawmakers, including four members of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission and four religious minority MPs, will travel to Syria next week to renew Iran's support for the war-ravaged nation that has long been an ally of the Islamic Republic.

He noted that showing Iran's allegiance to the Syrian nation and government and renewing support for Syria in fighting the terrorists is another goal of the next week's visit of the Iranian lawmakers.

"Four members of the parliament's commission will visit Syria next week and since some of the Takfiri terrorists' massacres and crimes have targeted religious minorities, the minority MPs have also demanded to accompany the commission's members to condole with them over the pains and ordeals of the religious minorities; hence four religious minorities' lawmakers will leave Tehran for Damascus next week," Naqavi Hosseini added.
