Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday called on Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to take united stance against Washington following the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. air strike on Friday.
Describing the killing of Soleimani as a grave mistake, Rouhani during a phone call with Erdoğan said that silence in the face of such aggression would embolden the United States, Sözcü newspaper reported.
"If we do not take a unanimous stance against the U.S.' mistakes, a great danger will threaten our region,” Rouhani said.
"Iran and Turkey have always negotiated on complicated matters,” he added.
