Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that close discussions were needed with Turkey on worrying developments in the region, Turkish state broadcaster TRT reported.
Zarif noted that the recent terrorist attacks in Tehran will further strengthen Iran’s position in the fight against terrorism. He also stressed that the situation in the region causes concern.
Zarif was speaking to reporters on arriving at a hotel in the Turkish capital for talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan amid efforts to defuse the Qatar crisis - prompted on Monday when the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others severed diplomatic ties with it over alleged support for Islamist groups and Iran.
