The Foreign Minister of Turkey has reaffirmed his country’s readiness to play a “constructive role” in resolving the war in the Middle East, according to the Foreign Ministry of Iran.
According to the statement, the foreign ministers of Turkey and Iran held a phone conversation, during which Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi thanked his Turkish counterpart for Ankara’s efforts so far to help end the conflict.
Turkey has been among the countries pursuing diplomatic approaches to bring the conflict to an end.
Earlier, Pakistan announced that Turkey—along with Saudi Arabia and Egypt—will take part in de-escalation talks in Islamabad on Monday.
Turkey faces a delicate balancing act in this conflict—as a member of NATO and also as a neighbor of Iran, sharing a border of more than 480 kilometers.
