    IRAN MFA SUMMONS TURKEY'S CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OVER ERDOGAN'S REMARKS

    March 30, 2015 - 15:42 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran's foreign ministry summoned Turkey's charge
    d'affaires on Sunday, March 29, after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan
    accused Iran of trying to dominate the Middle East, Iranian media
    reported, according to Reuters.

    "We are summoning the Turkish charge d'affaires... to register
    Iran's objection to Erdogan's comments and to seek a clear response,"
    spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted as saying by the semi-official
    Fars new agency.

    Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif last week rebuffed
    Erdogan's accusations and accused the Turkish president of pursuing
    policies harmful to the region.

    Several Iranian officials and lawmakers have called on the government
    to cancel a planned visit by Erdogan next week.

    Erdogan said on Monday he still planned to visit Iran.
