Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast has criticized Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc for his recent allegations about Tehran, PRESS TV reported.
Mehmanparast said on Sunday that the Islamic Republic has been a supporter of the oppressed people in the region, such as the oppressed people of Palestine.
He added that Tehran and Ankara have different viewpoints regarding Syria, but divisive remarks should not be made over the issue.
Earlier this week, the Turkish deputy premier slammed Iran over its position on Syria.
Mehmanparast added that Iran supports reforms in Syria and is against any foreign intervention in the country.
He also rejected Arinc's allegations that the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) is using Iranian soil to get into Turkey.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community, including Turkey, Iran, the United States, and European Union member states.
Mehmanparast said making such claims cannot help resolve Turkey's internal problems.
