President Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has faulted the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Erdogan said this on Monday, at a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner in Ankara, the nation’s capital city, describing the attack as a clear violation of international law.
He stated that Turkey shared the pain of the Iranian people amid the widening war which resulted in the killing of their Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
DAILY POST reports that Turkey, a NATO member and neighbor of Iran, had for weeks urged Washington and Tehran to reach an agreement during their rounds of negotiations.
It also cautioned that the region could not handle more destabilisation.
“As their neighbour and brother, we share the pain of the Iranian people,” he said.
According to him, the US-Iran dispute had grown into war after provocations from Israel.
DAILY POST reports that Turkey historically has had complex ties with Iran, with the two countries backing opposing sides for years in the civil war in Syria, but managing cordial ties and strong trade in various areas despite political differences.
