Erdogan: We do not want a new attack on Iran.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan: We do not want a new wave of attacks against Iran and we do not want our region to be pushed towards greater instability.
We always emphasize that problems can be solved through dialogue and diplomacy. Unfortunately, we are again witnessing a move in a negative direction. We do our best to prevent this.
Referring to his contact with Trump, the Turkish president said: I discussed this issue with Trump and informed him of our concerns. We informed the conflicting parties that we are ready to mediate to open a door to peace and diplomacy.
Erdogan added: "The continuation of the conflicts will have no other consequences than heavier losses for our region." The price of war is not only on the shoulders of the conflicting parties; Instead, a wide geographic area from Turkey to the Persian Gulf countries, from Iraq to Syria, is unfortunately affected by these developments.
