Baku-APA.The visiting head of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, Alaedin Boroujerdi, said here on Wednesday that the quadrilateral cooperation between Iran, Iraq, Russia and Syria is an important step toward fighting terrorism, according to the state news agency, APA reports quoting Xinhua.

Boroujerdi made the comments during his meeting with Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, during which both sides agreed that the U.S.-led anti-terror coalition has achieved no tangible results during the one-year-old strikes.

"American coalition was not serious in facing terrorism but it was a joke. That is why the new coalition and new team started to work seriously. All of this will establish new and important conditions and developments in the region," he said.

The Iranian official said the situation in Syria is getting better thanks to the steadfastness of the Syrian people and the anti-terror coalition led by Russia.

Meanwhile, Boroujerdi stressed that the Iranian economic and military support to Syria will continue.
