Dr.Ahmadinejad told Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari on the sidelines of a summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) in Baku on Tuesday.

“Today, the situation in the region is sensitive and it is necessary for all countries to be cautious,” said president Ahmadinejad.

Referring to the ongoing unrest in Syria, Dr.Ahmadinejad stated that the only solution to the crisis in Syria is building a national consensus and helping Syrians hold free elections.

Stressing the need for the vigilance of regional countries against conspiracies plotted by ill-wishers and arrogant powers, president said “They [Western countries] have ruled our region for 100 years and intend to continue their domination over the region.”

The Pakistani president, for his part, said what is happening in the Middle East right now is not good and if regional nations do nothing to improve the situation, history will not forgive them.

During the meeting, the two sides also discussed bilateral relations.
