TEHRAN— Under the motto “No to violence, yes to
democracy,” an estimated 200 Syrian and regional politicians gathered in Tehran
on Sunday to discuss a possible end to the violence that has engulfed Syria
since March 2011.
“We believe reforms in Syria should lead to a free, fair and transparent
election with the cooperation of all political parties,” said Iranian Foreign
Minister Ali Akbar Salehi in opening remarks at the one-day Syria National
Dialogue conference.
