Members of Iran Majlis (parliament) Foreign Policy and National Security Committee have called for a halt to arms supply to foreign-backed insurgents fighting against the Syrian government, PressTV reported.
"Members of this [parliamentary] committee called on countries meddling in Syria to stop supplying arms to and supporting armed groups in Syria," Seyyed Hossein Naqavi Hossein, spokesman of the committee, said on Sunday.
He added that the parliamentary committee convened earlier in the day to discuss the latest developments in Syria.
"During the meeting, members of Majlis Foreign Policy and National Security Committee also called on the international organizations to take action to stop continuation of war crimes in Syria by armed Syrian groups," he added.
The lawmaker stated that the committee has condemned the recent war crime committed by the armed Syrian opposition through execution of Syrian soldiers.
On Thursday, a grisly video footage was circulated on the web showing foreign-backed insurgents killing Syrian soldiers execution-style at a checkpoint in the crisis-hit country.
In the footage, which was reportedly filmed at Hamisho checkpoint west of the northwestern city of Saraqeb, the insurgents beat about 10 soldiers before executing them with automatic rifles.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 and many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the insurgents are foreign nationals.
