The Turkish Foreign Ministry in a statement said that violence and provocations must be avoided in the ongoing protests in Iran.
 
The ministry said that Turkey hopes that peace will be ensured in the country as soon as possible and that there will be no foreign intervention in Iran.
 
“Turkey attributes great importance to the preservation of peace and stability and Iran,” the statement added.
 
At least 29 people, including a police officer, have been killed in anti-government protests across Iran, officials said Monday.
 
In addition, at least 400 people have been arrested during the protests, including 200 in the capital Tehran. The other arrests were reported in the cities of Arak, Isfahan and Robat Karim and West Azerbaijan province.
 
Thousands of Iranians hit the streets Thursday in the northeastern cities of Mashhad and Kashmar to protest rising commodity prices and perceived government mismanagement, according to local media reports.
 
Thursday's protests were followed by pro-government protests Saturday.
 
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday warned Iranians against the ongoing anti-government protests across the country.
 
"We should avoid putting the country in a situation the enemies can take advantage of," Rouhani said following a cabinet meeting.
