Iran, Turkey, Russia warn US against meddling in domestic affairs of Venezuela
Tehran (KNA) - Iran, Turkey and Russia throw their weight behind the Venezuelan government against a bizarre move by the US-backed opposition leader to proclaim himself “president,” warning Washington against interfering in domestic affairs of the South American state.
On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the Islamic Republic "backs Venezuela's nation and legitimate government in the face of any foreign meddling in the country's domestic affairs or any illegitimate and illegal measure such as attempts for a coup or moves against the people."
"We hope that any disagreement and political problem in Venezuela will be resolved by the country's own people and government as soon as possible via legal and peaceful solutions," he added.
On Wednesday, Juan Guaido, the leader of Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, abruptly declared himself the "interim president," quickly winning the backing of the US and its Latin American allies for his strange move.
