Iran denies it has forces supporting Assad in Syria

PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran denied on Friday, May 24, that it had forces in Syria supporting President Bashar al-Assad, one day after foreign backers of his rebel foes demanded Tehran withdraw its fighters from Syrian territory, according to Reuters.

"The true enemies of Syria make up these accusations to provoke the people of this country," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi said, quoted by Iranian state television.
