(VOVworld) - Turkey summoned Iran's ambassador on Thursday to demand a halt to Iranian media reports linking the execution of Shiite cleric Nirm al-Nirm by Saudi Arabia with last week's visit to Riyadh by President Tayyip Erdogan. The Turkish Foreign Ministry’s statement condemned remarks that directly accused President Erdogan, and said the publications aimed to create a negative image of him in the eyes of Iranian people. The statement read that it was stressed to the ambassador that the attacks on the Saudi embassy and consulate in Tehran and Meshed were completely unacceptable and inexplicable.
