Iran felicitates Turkey on successful election

Iran has offered congratulations to the Turkish government and nation on the recent successful parliamentary election with mass participation of people.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham expressed hope on Monday that the establishment of a new government in Turkey would improve mutual relations in all fields.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development Party (AKP) won the parliamentary election on Sunday and regained its parliamentary majority which it had lost in a June election.

There are hopes that the election would put an end to months of tension and instability in Turkey, triggered by two deadly bomb blasts in the city of Suruc and the capital, Ankara, over the past few months. Tens of people were killed in the explosions.
