The main goal in Syria is to eliminate terrorism, and only then can there be talk about a new constitution and a new government in the country, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told the US television channel CBS.
He reminded that a large segment of the country "has been occupied by terrorists," and there is bloodshed inside the country, millions of people have been displaced.
"How can we fight the terrorists without the government staying?" TASS cited Rouhani as saying.
According to him, after they have fought terrorism and a secure environment is created, then it is time to talk about the constitution or a future regime, and then to talk and discuss with the opposition groups.
