Iran to Turkey: We don’t expect neighbors to create tension
TEHRAN, Sept.10 (MNA) — Iran criticized Turkey for agreeing to host NATO's missile defense system, saying Iran does not expect Turkey as a neighbor and friendly country to adopt policies that would create tension in the region.
“We expect our friendly countries and neighbors to show more vigilance and by considering the region’s security interests do not pave the way for policies that create tension that will definitely lead to ‘complicated consequences’,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said.
Turkey has recently agreed to host an early warning radar as part of NATO's missile defense system which is allegedly aimed to counter missile threats by Iran.
Mehmanparast said Iran believes the deployment radar system in Turkey will not serve “regional stability and security” even for the host country.
