Top Syrian Adviser Calls for Closer Media Cooperation with Iran

“We are seeking to boost such (media) cooperation at all levels,” Ali Abdullah al-Ahmad said in a meeting with Tasnim’s officials, including Managing Director Majid Qolizadeh, in Tehran on Saturday.

The Syrian official emphasized that in order to emerge victorious in “the life-or-death battle”, his country needs comprehensive solutions, which are effective.

Ahmad went on to say that the Iranian and Syrian media outlets should work alongside each other to foil the conspiracies of the Western media.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with Takfiri terrorists from various groups, including the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), currently controlling parts of it.

According to the United Nations, more than 220,000 people have been killed and one million wounded during the conflict.

In the meantime, Iran has remained a close ally of Syria and supports its legitimate government in the face of foreign-backed militancy.

Earlier in June, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed the resistance of the Syrian government and people against foreign-backed terrorist groups in the Arab country, saying that Tehran is determined to side with Damascus to the end of the crisis.
