The foreign ministers of Iran and Turkey Ali-Akbar Salehi and Ahmet Davutoglu discussed the latest regional developments, the critical situation in Bahrain in particular, in a telephone conversation on Tuesday, the FM's official site reported.
The foreign ministers stressed that regional states should help resolve the crisis in Bahrain so that it would guarantee meeting of the legitimate demands of the Bahraini people.
The two also said that any solutions to the ongoing crisis in Bahrain should lead to the implementation of new reforms without any presence of foreign forces in that country.
Bahrainis began peaceful demonstrations calling for constitutional reforms in the capital's Pearl Square on February 14, and then called for an end to the Al Khalifa dynasty, which has ruled the country for almost two centuries.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar have also dispatched their armed forces to the country upon Manama's request to help with the crackdown on peaceful protesters.
Tehran has strongly condemned the crackdown and the military intervention from some Persian Gulf countries.
At least 16 people have so far been killed and about 1,000 others have been injured since the beginning of the protests in Bahrain.
