Türkiye: concerns about Regional Developments
Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed
Türkiye has expressed concerns about the escalating regional developments that started with Iran’s attacks against targets in Iraq, followed and expanded by Iran’s strikes on targets inside Pakistan, and further escalated after attacks by Pakistan.
“Problems should be resolved within the framework of the fundamental principles of international law, including the UN Charter, in mutual respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries and with an understanding of friendship and brotherhood,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry has said in a statement on Thursday, adding that Türkiye is ready to contribute to the peaceful resolution of the disputes.
The statement called on Iran, Iraq and Pakistan to act with common sense and show restraint.
“We hope that all issues will soon come to an end through dialogue and cooperation without further threatening regional security and stability,” it added.
Islamabad on Thursday said it launched precision strikes against “separatist terrorists” in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan region, two days after Tehran struck what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al Adl in the border town of Panjgur in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.
