ANKARA – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday said that the war triggered by attacks on Iran must be halted before it expands and sets the entire region on fire.
He stressed that diplomacy still offers a path to de-escalation.
“This war must be stopped before it grows and throws the entire region into flames. If diplomacy is given a chance, it is entirely possible to achieve this,” Erdogan said addressing his party members at the parliament.
Erdogan said Türkiye is continuing diplomatic efforts.
“We are patiently continuing our initiatives to return to the table and negotiations and to bring diplomacy back into play,” he said.
He added that Ankara is also taking precautions against attempts to fuel sectarian conflict and other destabilising scenarios in the region. (Xinhua/NAN)
