Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bahram Ghasemi made the remark in his weekly press conference.
About Turkey’s decision to construct a security wall on borders with Iran, Ghasemi said the Turkish side has briefed Iran on their plans; “I should note however that the wall will not be constructed at the zero border point. We welcome any measure that promotes stability and security on the two countries’ borders,” he added.
The Turkish government is planning to build a wall along the Turkish-Iranian border as part of "measures" against the armed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) group, Turkish daily Hürriyet reported.
Ergun Turan, head of Turkish state-owned housing agency TOKİ, has said that tenders for construction of the 144-kilometer wall had been completed, adding that the project’s first phase would begin in October.
