Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Friday that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to help the Libyan refugees, local Press TV reported.
"Iran supports popular uprisings in the region which happen on the basis of Islamic awakening," Mehmanparast was quoted as saying on Friday.
He condemned the genocide of innocent Libyan civilians by any group and under any pretext, adding that "the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the demands of the oppressed and Muslim people of Libya must be met."
In June, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for European Affairs Ali Ahani condemned the deadly strikes by NATO on Libya, saying the attacks are "killing innocent people and destroying the country's economic infrastructure."
Ahani criticized NATO's military intervention in Libya during a meeting with Serbian Foreign Ministry's special envoy Darko Tanaskovic in Tehran.
He said the intervention was a misinterpretation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.
