Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu calls on Saudi Arabia and Iran to use diplomatic channels to resolve the ongoing crisis, adding that Turkey was ready to play a role in the ongoing row.  Saudi Arabia cut all ties with Iran on Sunday following the kingdom's execution of Shi'ite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. It has said it will only restore them when Tehran stops meddling in the affairs of other countries.
