Türkiye ready to support efforts for peace, stability, President Erdogan tells Iranian counterpart in phone call

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday told his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian that Ankara will continue supporting efforts for peace and stability through negotiations to resolve regional conflict.

In a phone call, the two discussed bilateral ties as well as regional and global developments, Türkiye’s Communications Directorate said.

"Türkiye is working together with brotherly countries to ensure peace and stability in the region and will continue providing all kinds of support for negotiations to yield positive results," Erdogan said.

During the call, Erdogan said the ongoing conflict in the region has cast a shadow over this week's Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha but voiced confidence that the Iranian people would overcome this difficult time and find safety and stability.

During the call, Erdogan also wished Pezeshkian a happy Eid al-Adha.
