Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdullahian said Tuesday that the "mass" turnout in Syria's new draft constitution referendum shows the resolve of the Syrian nation and government to restore stability and security in the country, the local satellite Press TV reported.

Amir-Abdullahian said that the high turnout in the referendum stems from the resolve of the Syrian government and nation to implement reforms in order to achieve national unity and integrity, said the report.

Syria announced Monday the results of a referendum on the new draft constitution held a day earlier across the country, saying that more than 89 percent of eligible voters supported the new charter.

Voters made their choice by ticking a green ring that says "yes " or a purple one to say "no" to the draft constitution, which aimed to restore stability in the unrest-hit country and give a limit of two seven-year terms to the president.

Under the new draft constitution, President Bashar al-Assad will end his two seven-year terms in 2014 at the latest, as well as his family's decades of rule in the country.

The new constitution is also expected to allow Syrian citizens to enjoy more freedom, end the monopoly of the ruling Baath Party and set a timetable for multi-party elections.

Amir-Abdullahian said Tuesday that the participation of the Syrian people despite the efforts of Syria's enemies sent a clear message to those trying to hamper a peaceful and political solution to the Syrian crisis by sowing discord and creating insecurity, according to the Press TV.

Iran is ready to support Syria in promoting the people's welfare and safeguarding the country's stability and security, he was quoted as saying.

However, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Sunday' s referendum "a cynical ploy" and called Assad's supporters to change their stances, while German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle dismissed the polls as a "farce."

The Syrian government has repeatedly dismissed the Western uproar as "flagrant interference in the country's internal affairs. "

However, Western powers and some Arab countries still hold the Syrian government entirely responsible for the nationwide unrest, and have been demanding that Syrian president relinquish power.

On Thursday, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appointed Kofi Annan, former UN chief, as a joint UN-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis to broker a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Since the unrest broke out in Syria last March, the number of casualties in the conflict has been rising steadily amid unrelenting clashes and fights between government forces and opposition fighters. The United Nations recently put the death toll in the Syrian unrest at 6,000, while Damascus says that more than 2,000 army and security personnel have been killed during the 11-months turmoil and blamed the bloodshed on armed groups backed by foreign powers.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast rejected on Saturday reports saying that Iran has sent weapons to Syria.

The Islamic republic of Iran rejects any military intervention in Syria's developments and dismisses reports on weapons delivery to the Syrian government, said Mehmanparast.

The Islamic republic's position on Syria has always been supporting any reform in favor of the Syrian people, he said.

Earlier, media reports said Iran has kept supplying Syria with arms to assist its government to crack down on the opposition.

Iran has been the supporter of the Syrian government "as the front-line of resistance" against its arch enemy Israel, and has accused the militants fighting Syrian administration as " terrorists" backed by the West.
