"The US wants to make a regional transformation in the region in the direction of its own interests," said Mahir Ünal, AK Party Deputy Chairman. "Iran now faces a very serious manipulation when we look at the statements made by the US, especially Trump," he added.

Ünal, who participated in live broadcasting on CNN Turk, has evaluated ongoing protests in Iran.

Saying that the region is almost on tenterhooks, Ünal said that there is a 5 year period that started with Arab Spring, including Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, and Syria which the results are extremely heavy in terms of region.

"There are policies of global powers that prepare the ground for infectious problems"

Saying that 9 nations, from Algeria to Ukraine are unmanageable and that 4 has lost the feature of being a state, Ünal said, "Before we talk about Iran, we have to talk about the region and the region we live in has very serious problems. There are policies of the global powers that prepare the ground for the infectious these serious problems. When we look at all these pictures, Iran had interior problems for a long time. Some of them are economic, some are social problems. Interventions were made by some global power to these issues of Iran. So, Iran now faces a very serious manipulation when we look at the statements made by the US, especially Trump. Statements of Rouhani showed clearly that they noticed this situation."

"Instability in Iran is not a situation in which Turkiye's desire to"

Reminding that the Turkish FM Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu had a phone call with the Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif, Ünal continued: "We do not want instability in our region. In the last 6 years, Turkiye insists for the good things to happen in the region. To establish of stability and ensuring peace. The territorial integrity of neighboring countries is very important to us, and stability is very important to us. Such an instability in Iran is not in which Turkiye’s desire to.”
