Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ebrahim Rahimpour said that Iran tries to tolerate Turkey’s critical claims but cannot understand some of its policies. Ebrahim Rahimpour stated that Iran is unable to understand some policies adopted by Turkey. “We make efforts to help Turkey after the coup attempt, but we do not understand some policies of the Turkish government” he told ISNA.
Rahimpour said, “Some problems may have made Turkey to resort to the Zionist regime of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Trump.” He expressed hope that the Turkish officials would adopt policies based on realities and long term objectives.
‘WE CAN FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT TURKEY’
“Some of Turkey’s actions in Syria have not been in line with Iran’s interests; however, we did not create a commotion and waited for Ankara’s government to understand that Iran is the best help. We think that we can forget everything about Turkey and have more serious cooperation in settling the crisis in Syria and preventing interference in Iraq’s affairs,” the Iranian deputy foreign minister noted.
He said that Iran still trusts Turkey in economic relations despite the tension between two countries.
Last month, Iran summoned the Turkish ambassador in Tehran over comments made by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoglu, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan accusing the Iran of destabilising the region.
