DUBAI (Reuters) – Iranโs President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday Tehran could move past a diplomatic quarrel with Turkey over a poem recited by President Tayyip Erdogan during a visit to Azerbaijan, which Tehran had called a threat to its territorial integrity.
Iran summoned Turkeyโs envoy last week after Erdogan recited an Azeri-Iranian poem lamenting the 19th century division of Azerbaijanโs territory between Russia and Iran. Tehran appeared concerned his remarks questioned Iranโs territorial integrity and could fan separatist tendencies among its Azeri minority.
