MUNICH (Sputnik) — The ongoing Syrian and Yemeni civil wars have come in focus of international attention, with a range of countries, including regional and non-regional players, making efforts to settle them.

"It can start perhaps with the modest regional dialogue based on generally recognized principles and shared objectives. The forum can promote understanding on a broad spectrum of issues including confidence and security building measures and combating terrorism extremism and sectarianism… I emphasize that the conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain do not have military solutions. Each requires a political solution, when no genuine actor is excluded from the process," Zarif said.

The Middle East has been experiencing a turmoil since the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011, which led to civil wars in Syria, Yemen and a number of other countries, as well as to the rise of the Daesh terrorist organization, outlawed in many countries, including Russia.
