More than 20 Turks have been shot dead over the past year by the Iranian security forces while crossing into Iran for alleged smuggling purposes. "Obviously, security forces must track people who act out of the law but there is also a humanitarian dimension to it. These people can be deterred without killing them. Warn your security authorities," Gul reportedly told Ahmadinejad during a meeting in Tehran. Lately, two Turkish teenagers were killed ten days ago by Iranian security teams.
