United Nations Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon stated called upon the international community to support the UN envoy to Syria Al-Akhdar Al-Ibrahimi to carry out his mission.

During his speech at the Non-Aligned Movement Summit (NAM) in Tehran Wednesday, Ban said that the Syria crisis is going to ignite a civil war that could destroy the country, stressing that any influencing party should be a part of the solution in the Arab Republic.

Ban strongly believed that Iran can play a pivotal role at the international level. He also declared his support for Tehran’s proposal to turn the Middle East region into a zone free of nukes and weapons of mass destruction.

He called for NAM member states solidarity to resolve their issues and respect freedom of speech and thought.

“The organizations under UN umbrella should undergo restructuring to attain collective goals,” he said.

"We should mind our people and promote cooperation instead of confrontation. We should go ahead with dialogue among civilizations and religions," he added.

“The United Nations along with NAM is committed to promote the cooperation amongst all nations and try to overcome the challenges to maintain peace and development,” Ban concluded.
