Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu says that Turkey will never be a party to any foreign interference in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On Saturday, Davutoglu also said that Tehran-Ankara relations have greatly improved over the past nine years and have never been as good as they are now.
“Turkey will not be part of any foreign intervention in Iran,” the Turkish foreign minister insisted.
He noted that he has met with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi more than any of his other counterparts, saying they hold regular meetings to discuss issues of mutual interest and regional developments.
On Iran’s opposition to the NATO missile defense system that is to be based in Turkey, Davutoglu said that despite the difference in viewpoint, Iran and Turkey have similar views on many issues.
Davutoglu also emphasized that Iran has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology meant for peaceful purposes and called for dialogue to resolve the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear program.
