Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham also on Monday offered congratulations to the Turkish government and nation on the successful parliamentary election with high turnout.

On Sunday, the Turkish president’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) regained the outright majority it had lost in June’s 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.
