BERLIN (Sputnik) – Russia and Iran are key players in the settlement of the Syrian conflict, German Federal Foreign Office spokesman Martin Schaefer said Friday.
"We cannot call into question the fact that Russia and Iran are very important participants in the Syrian [conflict] settlement for obvious reasons," Schaefer said, adding that it was also connected with "an impact and technical resources these countries are providing to [Syrian President] Bashar Assad's regime."
