\"protestsProtests in Istanbul, Turkey rage on after police reacted violently to an occupation Gezi Park, located in Istanbul\u2019s central Taksim Square, initially because of government plans to develop a shopping mall over the park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Violent crackdown of protesters transformed the protest into massive anti-government demonstrations around the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the protests became world news, Western media got it wrong by characterizing the uproar as a revolt against Islamic influence in Turkish politics or simply an environmental protest.<\/span><\/p>\n

But to be more accurate, these protests should be seen as a chain of demands of people from Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government over recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 1,700 people have been arrested and dozens are injured or dead. The anti-government demonstrations have flared up in 67 cities as well as important cities of Izmir, Ankara, Antalya and Konya.<\/span><\/p>\n

These demonstrations had a negative influence on turkey\u2019s economy leading to a fall in its stock exchange market and decrease in its tourism industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran has a great influence in its neighbor, Turkey. However Sayed Abbad Araghchi the spokesperson of Iran’s Foreign Ministry\u00a0strictly denies any interventions<\/a> in Turkey and described it as an internal issue of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The protests in Turkey are a domestic issue and Iran will never intervene there,\u201d said Mansour Haghighat-Poor, The deputy of National Security and Foreign Policy\u00a0Committee\u00a0of Iran\u2019s Majlis in an exclusive interview with Iran’sView.<\/span><\/p>\n

He, however, invited the turkey to \u201cpeacefully dealing with the protesters and avoiding violence\u201d, and emphasized \u201cthe need to respect the demands of the protesters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese protests somehow roots in Turkey\u2019s Foreign Policy. Iran had previously warned the Prime Minister Erdogan\u00a0about opening borders to terrorists and helping subversion of Syrian legal government which will leads to the Turkish dissatisfaction and finally protests, besides ending in chaos in the region,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haghighat-Poor suggested to Erdogan \u201ctry to solve the domestic issues and welfare problems\u201d by ending \u201csupport for the Syrian armed opposition\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Turkish government doesn’t correct its mistakes and instead continues in its current policies, more opposition will emerge and Turkey will follow the pattern that Syria has,”\u00a0he warned.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
