Yemen should turn to dialogue to end a conflict with Houthis in the country, Iranian and Omani officials said on Wednesday.

"We emphasised the necessity of adopting a solution to end the crisis. If it continues, it will bring not only instability for Yemen but influence the whole region," Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters after talks with his Omani counterpart Youssef bin Alawi.

"We insist on finding a solution to the crisis in Yemen, a solution that is based on negotiations," he added.

"We are prepared to support the Yemeni government in any way possible to find a solution to resolve security concerns there," bin Alawi said in the comments carried on Iran's English-language Press TV.
