Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met with national and international media to discuss developments in Iran, Syria, and the United States, emphasizing Türkiye’s commitment to regional stability and security.
Fidan said Türkiye has long prioritized stability and security in its region, noting that longstanding issues have evolved over time.
He pointed to Iran’s years under sanctions and political challenges in the region as key factors affecting regional dynamics.
As a neighboring country, Fidan said Türkiye openly shares its views with Iran and closely monitors developments there, emphasizing that any developments in Iran directly affect Türkiye.
He said resolving Iran’s internal issues and avoiding scenarios that could spread instability across the region align with Türkiye’s interests.
Fidan said Türkiye’s priority is to avoid any situation that could lead to the use of force. He recalled that Iran faced attacks by Israel and later the United States during what he described as 12 days of conflict, adding that Türkiye does not approve of a repeat of such developments.
He said diplomatic efforts would continue and expressed hope that the U.S. and Iran would resolve their issues either through mediators or direct talks. Türkiye, he added, would continue to closely follow the process.
