Iran summoned Turkey’s envoy to the country on Friday over a poem Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan read out recently during a ceremony in Azerbaijan.
“IRAN AWAITS AN URGENT EXPLANATİON ON THE ISSUE”
Ambassador Derya Ors was summoned by Iran’s deputy foreign minister to be conveyed Tehran’s “harsh condemnation,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a written statement.
Ors was informed that Iran awaited an urgent explanation on the issue, the statement added.
Erdoğan attended a victory parade ceremony in Azerbaijan’s capital Baku on Thursday to mark the country’s recent military success in liberating Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent regions from nearly 30 years of the Armenian occupation.
