"Iran and Turkey carry out expansionist projects outside their borders, without any right to this",  -  TASS quotes Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

 

 


In addition, according to the politician, Turkey promotes "political Islam under the guise of neo-Ottomanism."

 

 


On May 31, the Arab League adopted a joint statement condemning the “aggression” of Iran and its “interference” in the internal affairs of the countries of the region.
