Iran’s deputy FM says the establishment of a national salvation government in Yemen is not in opposition to UN-brokered peace talks, adding the UN roadmap would succeed only if Saudi Arabia adopted the right policies.
Hossein Jaberi Ansari, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs, made the remarks in a meeting with Putin’s Special Representative for the Middle East and North Africa Michael Bogdanov in Tehran on Monday.
Jaberi Ansari was referring to the "national salvation" government of Yemen as sworn in on Tuesday by Ansarullah movement. Ansarullah has assured that the new body will not undermine UN-brokered peace talks, but UN Special Envoy for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed referred to it as "a new and unnecessary obstacle" for the talks.
The Iranian diplomat added that the future of Yemen will be decided by its own people, and the effective actors on the scene need to help with the formation of Yemeni-Yemeni dialogues and its positive conclusion.
