Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in a phone conversation, exchanged views on the latest border developments and military conflicts between Turkey and Syria.

Amirabdollahian said the Islamic Republic understands Turkey’s security concerns and stressed the need for ending the concerns.

Amirabdollahian added achieving that goal necessitates constant security talks between Syrian and Turkey.
