Erdogan tells Iranian FM talks are only way to settle nuclear dispute
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan tells Iran’s foreign minister that resuming Iranian-US talks on Tehran’s nuclear program was the only way to achieve a solution to their dispute and the conflict with Israel, the Turkish Presidency says.
Erdogan meets Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of an Organization of Islamic Cooperation meeting in Istanbul. In a statement, his office notes that Erdogan says Israel had to be stopped immediately.
Erdogan says Turkey was ready to play a facilitator role to help resume the nuclear talks, adding “steps should be taken as soon as possible to open up diplomacy via technical and leaders-level talks between Iran and the US,” his office adds.
