Protests erupt in cities across Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's political rival Ekrem Imamoglu is arrested

Turkish protesters against the detention of the mayor of Istanbul, who is the main political rival of President Erdogan, say his detention is a “coup” and a major blow to Turkey’s democracy.

Istanbul’s opposition mayor has been arrested as part of an investigation into what Ankara claims to be corruption and terror links, just days before he was due to be selected as a presidential candidate.

Iran has advised Turkish officials to avoid making incorrect remarks and offering unreal analyses, which can lead to tensions in the two countries’ relations.
