“What did Larijani say that made Turkish officials angry?” reads the title of an article by Iranian news website Tabnak.ir. 

The author of the article writes that after the meeting between Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as part of Larijani’s regional tour to Syria, Lebanon and Turkey, Ankara made an anti-Iranian statement, obviously in response to Ali Larijani’s statements.

According to the Iranian website, Turkish Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin stated, in part, “We have reliable information that Iran supports PKK members. The injured members of PKK are treated at hospitals in Iran.”

Referring to the recent visits of Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani to Syria, Lebanon and Turkey, Mansour Haghighat-Pour, Vice Chairman of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said to Iran's semi-official news agency Fars on Monday, “During his meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Iranian Majlis Speaker tried to make the Turkish officials understand that their policy on Syria is wrong. Besides, Ali Larijani also seriously warned Erdogan against the deployment of the Patriot defense missiles near Turkey’s border with Syria as well as against Ankara’s support for Syrian opposition.”

A tripartite meeting between the Foreign Ministers of Iran, Turkey and Azerbaijan will take place in the Turkish city of Erzurum on Wednesday, Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA reported.
