The situation in Syria does not entail amendments to the strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran, and it is ready for signing, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Sputnik, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.
"The new 'big' agreement, the text of which has long been ready and agreed upon by the parties, is comprehensive, long-term and 'all-weather' in nature and in this sense does not require any adjustments," the minister said, answering about the possibility of amending the agreement due to the situation in Syria, where power in the country has passed into the hands of the opposition, and Bashar Assad, whom Moscow and Tehran supported, has left the post of the president.
According to Lavrov, the agreement is intended to legally consolidate the unprecedented progress in bilateral relations achieved in recent years and record their entry into the level of strategic partnership.
"Of course, such a comprehensive document also has an international component. Among other things, it pays special attention to strengthening interaction in the interests of peace and security at the regional and global levels, and sets forth Moscow and Tehran's desire for closer cooperation in the areas of security, defense, the fight against terrorism and extremism, and countering many other common challenges and threats," he said.
