Turkey will suffer much detriment, should the Patriot defense missiles
be deployed near Turkey’s border with Syria, Brigadier General Yadollah
Javani, Senior Advisor to the Supreme Leader’s Representative in the
IRGC, told Iran’s news agency Mehr in an interview.
Referring to Turkey’s request for NATO to deploy Patriot defense
missiles near its common border with Syria, Yadollah Javani said, in
part, “By deploying Patriot defense missiles, Turkey prepares a ground
for a military intervention in Syria. Ankara, however, should realize
that it is making a strategic mistake, and will suffer much detriment.”
Commenting on Turkey’s Syria policy, Brigadier General Yadollah
Javani stated, “Erdogan’s government not only did not contribute
to the resolution of the Syrian conflict, moreover, by supporting
terrorists, it betrayed its neighbor. Currently everyone in Syria
from ordinary citizens to national minorities (Kurds) has a negative
attitude to Turkey.”
We will remind that referring to the recent visits of Iranian
Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani to Syria, Lebanon and Turkey, Mansour
Haghighat-Pour, Vice Chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign
Policy Committee, said to Iran’s semi-official news agency Fars
on Monday, “During his meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, the Iranian Majlis Speaker tried to make the Turkish
officials understand that their policy on Syria is wrong. Besides,
Ali Larijani also seriously warned Erdogan against the deployment of
the Patriot defense missiles near Turkey’s border with Syria as well
as against Ankara’s support for Syrian opposition.”
