In an interview with ICANA on Tuesday, Mansouri Arani said, "The Syrian opposition is trying to get the support of the veto powers in the EU in order to draw attention to its case in the international community."

"The Arab and Western governments that are against the Syrian government are trying to revise their own laws regarding the prohibition of sending weapons to the rebels fighting against the sovereign states," he added.

"This would help them arm the Syrian terrorist groups and finally pave the way for the change of regime in Syria," he added.     

The newly formed Syrian opposition coalition received backing from the European Union on Monday.
