In his address to the gathering, the Iranian defense minister described the first and most important step for the restoration of stability and security in the crisis-hit areas in the region as "comprehensive ceasefire, creation of a situation for relief aid and humanitarian activities, and at the same time prevention of equipping and supporting the terrorist groups as well as decisive military action against them.”
