Zarif emphasized,"Iran continues to call for Syria-Syria dialogue, constitutional revision and holding of elections in 2021, which is the legal time for the next Syrian presidential election."

said the formation of the Syrian Constitutional Review Committee is very important and should be followed by serious measures, including reducing tension.
