Ankara, (IINA) - Turkey has summoned Iran’s ambassador to Ankara on Thursday over the controversy created by some Iranian media outlets regarding Erdogan’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Anadolu Agency reported.
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Thursday that the Iranian ambassador was summoned to the office over Iranian media broadcast that linked Erdogan’s visit to Saudi Arabia with the executions of 47 people there.
The statement condemned the false stories run by the Iranian media and the accusations against Erdogan. It also demanded an end to such publications and broadcast that aim to create a negative image of the Turkish president in the minds of Iranians.
The Iranian ambassador was also told that the safety of foreign diplomatic missions was a responsibility of host countries; therefore, the attacks against Saudi Arabia’s embassy in Tehran and Consulate in Mashhad could not be explained nor accepted.
