Tehran, SANA – The Syrian delegation to the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) made a number of proposals on denouncing takfiri fatwas and those who issue them, with the participants endorsing these proposals.
The Syrian parliamentary figures constituting the delegation, along with counterparts from Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, discussed the need for the meeting to come out with firm decisions against the takfiri terrorist organizations operating in the region.
