Rouhani and Erdogan agree Yemen bloodshed must stop 'immediately': Iran
April 7, 2015
Turkey and Iran have agreed on the need for a political solution to end Yemen's war, which has raised tensions between them, Iran's president said Tuesday after talks with his visiting Turkish counterpart.
"We talked about Iraq, Syria, Palestine... We had a long discussion about Yemen. We both think war and bloodshed must stop in this area immediately and a complete ceasefire must be established and the strikes must stop," Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said during a joint press conference broadcast by state television.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made no remarks about Yemen, but he talked at length about bilateral relations with Iran.
Iran, which has publicly said that it supports Yemen’s Houthis, has condemned air strikes against the group by an Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia.
