"This war must be stopped before it spreads throughout the entire region."
Medianews.az, citing Oxu.Az, reports that Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated this while commenting on the US and Israel's attacks on Iran during the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) meeting.
The head of state noted that if diplomacy is given a chance, the goal can be achieved. According to R.T. Erdoğan, Turkey continues its persistent efforts to bring the parties back to negotiations and to restore diplomacy. The President emphasized that Turkey supports the reduction of tension, peace, and stability throughout the region.
"Considering the sensitivity of the current situation, we speak with extreme caution. We act prudently to protect Turkey from the fire burning around it. We take necessary measures to prevent bloody scenarios attempted in our region, primarily interfaith conflicts," said the leader of the brotherly country.
