Iran escalates the situation in the region with aggravation of relations with Saudi Arabia, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
Erdogan criticized Iran and accused it of exploiting the events in countries such as Syria, Iraq and Yemen so as to expand its influence.
During a speech in Ankara before Turkish ambassadors, Erdogan pointed out that Iran is trying to ignite a serious process by taking positions that convert sectarian dispute into field conflicts. He criticized the use of death penalty in Iran.
