TEHRAN - Akram al-Kaabi, the secretary general of Harakat al Nujaba, said on Monday that the coup attempt in Turkey showed that the country should change its position on Syria.

During a meeting with in Tehran Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, the chairman of the Assembly of Experts, Kaabi said that Turkey’s support for terrorist groups in Syria is obvious.

He added that Turkey is still the best route for terrorists to enter Syria.
Ayatollah Jannati said that Iran will spare no effort in supporting the Iraqi and Syrian people.
“I am sure that presence of faithful youths in fighting Takfiri groups affiliated with the global arrogance will lead to victory,” he said.

A military coup attempt in Turkey on July 15 claimed the lives of more than 200 people and left nearly 1,500 others wounded.

Also, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, met with Kaabi on Monday.

During the visit, Boroujerdi said that Iran supports any action taken to help restore peace to the Middle East region.

He added that it is Iran’s “revolutionary” and “Islamic” duty to help the Iraqi people, highlighting the importance of protecting Iraq’s territorial integrity.

Kaabi, for his part, said that Iraq’s Harakat al Nujaba will stand beside Hezbollah militants in Iraq and Syria, underscoring that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia provide terrorists with missiles and arms.
Elsewhere, he praised efforts being made by the Iranian people, government and Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei for supporting the innocent people in the region.
