MehmanparastIran assured Saturday that a military solution would not settle the situation in Syria, indicating that the majority of Syrians doesn’t support the West and the armed opposition, and this is why they oppose free elections, Fars news agency reported.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in a press conference in Erzurum, Turkey, late Saturday that "a military solution is not an appropriate settlement for Syria," adding that "the west and the armed groups in Syria oppose free election, because they know that majority of people would not support them in such an election."

The Iranian news agency further quoted Mehmanparast as saying that "if the Syrian crisis intensifies and the western countries interfere, the conflict would not be confined to Syria."
