In an interview with Sputnik News, a Russian-state owned
news agency, he discussed the impact of the Saudi-Iranian dialogue, sponsored
by China, on Jordanian-Syrian relations.
He stated, "Without a doubt, we look forward to seeing
the positive impact of the dialogue between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the
Islamic Republic of Iran on other aspects of regional politics, especially the
Syrian file and the bilateral relations between Amman and Tehran,” Khaberni
reported.
He added: "I am aware of the mutual interest in this
matter from both the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Iran," stating that
it "will contribute to relaunching relations between the two capitals,
Amman and Tehran, intensifying political dialogue, and increasing trade
exchange."
Desyatnikov further stated, "Therefore, we are
optimistic about Jordanian-Iranian cooperation and Jordanian-Syrian
cooperation."
Normalization efforts applaudedThe Russian ambassador also shared Moscow's vision, which is
"the normalization of relations between Riyadh and Tehran with Chinese
mediation is one of the most positive events witnessed in the Middle East
recently."
He added, "We welcome this agreement, and we are ready
to contribute to the necessary development of this reconciliatory direction. In
particular, Russia has been promoting the collective security initiative in the
Arab Gulf region since the 1990s, which can serve this goal."
Desyatnikov discussed the future of the region in light of
the current de-escalation situation, particularly with the normalization
between Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries on one side and Iran on the other. He
stated, "If these processes take a stable form, the future of the Middle
East will be very promising."
He continued, "This region has been exhausted by an
endless series of conflicts, wars, and instability, and peace and prosperity
should return here through enhancing mutual respect and cooperation among the
Arab capitals. The task of Russia and other external players is to assist Arab
friends in maintaining the desire for cooperation as a strategic direction for
development."
Regarding Russian-Jordanian cooperation in southern Syrian,
Desyatnikov said, "The situation in southern Syria remains of interest to
Moscow and Amman, and it is one of the most important items on the bilateral
agenda. Constant communication is taking place regarding this matter through
all available channels between our countries, and we believe that this work
will yield positive results."
Desyatnikov described Syria's return to the Arab League as
"long overdue," stating that the Middle East currently needs
cohesion, de-escalation, and mutually beneficial cooperation among all relevant
regional capitals.
The Russian ambassador affirmed that "Syria's return to
the Arab family represents a step towards peace and stability in the
region."
He said, "We are confident that this will benefit the
entire Arab community because through collaboration, any difficulties can be
overcome, and such regional challenges are not few at present."
Promoting security and prosperityRegarding the next step necessary to ensure security and
prosperity in neighboring countries to Syria, Desyatnikov stated, "The
issues of mutually beneficial coexistence for all regional countries must be
discussed, and it seems that matters related to restoring commercial ties
between regional capitals, enhancing security, and combating terrorism may be
the best topics for dialogue, and they must be emphasized now."
As for whether the Iranian factor is an obstacle to
normalization between Damascus and the Arab world, Desyatnikov believes that
"On the contrary, Iran shows a constructive position and readiness to
cooperate on all aspects of dealing with the Arab community, and that can only
be welcomed."
It should be noted that in March, an agreement was announced
between Saudi Arabia and Iran to restore diplomatic relations
