During a joint presser with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Rasit Meredov, Salehi said that Iran expressed readiness to host dialogue between the Syrian Government and the opposition, stressing that Tehran's call for dialogue is aimed at reaching a solution to end the crisis in Syria.
On the Geneva Action Group on Syria meeting, Salehi said that the meeting is consistent with UN Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan
...Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh and so far the worst Secretary-General of the UN. Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for something or other that probably sounded good at the time. In December 2004, reports surfaced that Kofi's son Kojo received payments from the Swiss company Cotecna, which had won a lucrative contract under the UN Oil-for-Food Program. Kofi Annan called for an investigation to look into the allegations, which stirred up the expected cesspool but couldn't seem to come up with enough evidence to indict Kofi himself, or even Kojo...'s six-point plan, stressing that all regional countries and other world countries which aspire for peace and stability in the region should cooperate together to get out of the crisis in Syria.
