In a meeting with the International Affairs and Foreign Policy Deputy Leader of the Patriotic Party (Turkey) on Thursday, Taherian reiterated that terrorism in the region cannot be discriminated into good and bad.

He said both Iran and Turkey should try to ensure their ties are not impressed by the plots of the ill-wishers and common enemies, reports IRNA.

'Those who burn innocent people alive, use innocent people as their human shield and do not show mercy to the captives contrary to humanitarian injunctions of Islam are not Muslims. So, using violence, extremism and terrorism to pursue foreign policies is wrong and supporters of such an ideology will remain captive of terrorism,' said the ambassador.
