Iranian Foreign Minister calls the establishment of a ceasefire in Syria a top priority in efforts to end the crisis there.

"Iran is ready for cooperation with other states to help reconstruct the violence-torn Arab country", Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at an international conference on Syria in Brussels on Wednesday 

"Iran has already begun its cooperation with Syria in rebuilding the country and is ready to interact with other countries in this area", Zarif added

Iranian Foreign Minister further described aid delivery to Syrian civilians as a matter of great urgency, saying if relief operations take place without preconditions and political motives, not only will they improve the conditions of the displaced, but will also facilitate efforts to achieve peaceful solutions to the conflict.

Senior representatives from 80 countries attended the two-day conference co-hosted by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.

Iranian Foreign Minister has arrived in Brussels on Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia and Turkey are two rivals in providing back up for terrorist groups in Syria.

The Syrian government has been following a proven strategy of besieging militant-held areas, isolating them, and then increasing military pressure until the militants give up and accept to relocate to other areas of Syria.
