Iranian foreign minister has criticized some countries such as Saudi Arabia for pursuing policies aimed at sowing discord among regional states.
Mohammad Javad Zarif made remarks following a trilateral meeting in the southern Turkish city of Antalya on Sunday.
“If they change their methods, they can also be involved in [promoting] regional peace instead of warmongering [policies],” he said.
Zarif and his Turkish and Russian counterparts Mevlut Cavusoglu and Sergei Lavrov, respectively, held preparatory talks ahead of Syria summit that is scheduled to be held in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi on November 22.
The top Iranian diplomat also took to Twitter on Sunday, lambasting Saudi Arabia, among other things, for fueling terrorism across region and committing human rights violations in Yemen.
He noted that while Saudi Arabia accused Iran of taking steps to stabilize the region, it was fueling terrorists while waging war in Yemen and fomenting crisis in Lebanon.
