Zarif has travelled to Turkey for a one-day visit during which he is also scheduled to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Ankara, Zarif underlined the need for more negotiations among regional countries.

ZRIF said that Iran, Turkey and Russia are three key regional countries that need to cooperate with each other.

Iran condemned the coup attempt in Turkey in the very first hour 'as we believe that coup has no place in our region and the vote and will of the people cannot be suppressed with the measures of a military group,' Zarif said, IRNA reports.
