RNA - "Ankara is leveling accusations against other countries to justify its expansionist policies," Qassemi said in reaction to President Erdogan's accusations against Iran.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman expressed regret on Sunday that Turkish officials continue to make "baseless, meddlesome and troublesome" remarks against their neighboring countries.

"By accusing others and repeating fictitious claims, Turkish officials are trying to justify their meddlesome and expansionist policies toward their neighbors,” he added.

Speaking at a Turkish-British forum in the southern city of Antalya on Saturday, the Turkish president accused Iran of adopting and pursuing "racist and discriminatory" policies in Iraq.
