Erdogan: Rouhani said Iran situation to stablise by weekend
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani assured him that the situation in Iran, where protests have left 21 people dead, will stabilise in a day or two.
Erdogan also said in the interview, broadcast on Thursday by the French televisions stations LCI and TF1, that foreigners were acting as provocateurs in Iran, echoing comments by Iranian leaders after a week of unrest in towns across the country.
"I talked with Mr Rouhani on the phone and ... the situation will stabilise within a day or two, there's no need to be worried, that's what they told me," Erdogan said in comments dubbed into French, later adding that Rouhani had told him the situation "would be back to normal by the weekend".
