Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hussein Amir- Abdollahian on Friday described resumption of Arab League mission in Syria as fruitful.

Abdollahian stated that Tehran would appreciate any measure that can help restore peace and tranquility to Syria and prevent more damage to the Syrian nation.

Amir-Abdollahian cited the first round of AL observers' report on Syria as “realistic and balanced,” adding Tehran would welcome any plan which supports the reforms initiated by Syrian President Bashar Assad.

He said Syria's problems should be settled through “domestic means.”

Expressing regret over recalling of some ambassadors to Syria and closure of their embassies in the Arab state, the Iranian deputy foreign minister underlined that such measures would deteriorate the situation.

'We believe that such hasty measures would not settle the problems, but would on the contrary worsen the situation,' he said.
