President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of the Republic of Türkiye on Thursday called for diplomatic efforts to resume ‘without further delay’ to end the war between the United States and Iran, following talks with his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian.
The Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye said the two leaders met on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Conference in Türkiye’s Antalya province.
During the meeting, Erdoğan stressed ‘the importance of returning to the negotiating table without further delay’ and said Türkiye would continue to support efforts to restore peace.
‘Common ground must be strengthened and diplomacy given a chance,’ President Erdoğan said, expressing hope that the conflict would end ‘as soon as possible’.
The war in the Middle East began on 28 February with US and Israeli air strikes against Iran.
