Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian described Cairo as an important country in the Islamic World and hailed developing cooperation between Tehran and Cairo, saying the two countries have so far held no direct talks.

Amirabdollahian made the remarks elaborating on the most important achievements of his visit to Syria.

We had a two-hour conversation with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, he said.

One of our important missions at this point was to investigate the possibility of Turkey's special military operation in parts of Syria, he added.

During the last few days' trip to Turkey, this issue was also discussed, he noted.

Tehran rejects war and tries to resolve the crisis between the two countries through political ways, he stressed.
