TEHRAN, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Iran's representative to the United Nations criticized a recent resolution on Syria as a "unilateral" and without dealing with "the reality on the ground," Tasnim news agency reported Saturday.
"The draft resolution on the Syrian Arab Republic, placed before us today was a one-sided document and divorced from the reality on the ground in Syria," Iran's deputy ambassador to the UN Gholam Hossein Dehqanion said.
On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly approved the Canada-drafted resolution which demanded an end to the attacks on the Syrian civilians, particularly entrapped in the war-stricken city of Aleppo.
Dehqanion said that the draft is totally silent on the root cause of crisis in Syria.
"It is an established fact that terrorism and violent extremism are the root causes of the disaster, and it is the very issue that should be first and foremost addressed by the international community," he said.
