Erdogan: No One Has the Right to Use Force against Peaceful Nuclear Iran
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed that no one has the right to use force against a country which has been pursuing peaceful nuclear activities.
"Any wise man is against the use of nuclear technology as arms and there should be no opposition to peaceful nuclear activities," he reiterated from Tehran.
During his two-day visit to the Islamic Republic, Erdogan once again announced his country's enthusiasm and readiness for hosting the upcoming round of talks between Iran and the six world powers.
In a joint press conference with Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi on Wednesday, the Turkish PM said "we had already proposed hosting the talks in Istanbul and the Iranian party too has announced its readiness to that end."
"We have also had talks with the other party to talks and are waiting for results of the consultations and their viewpoint," he added pointing out that "the Turkish view is based on helping process of the talks."
It is worth mentioning that Istanbul was the venue of the last round of talks between the two sides.
Iran and the G5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) held two rounds of multifaceted talks in Geneva in December 2010 and in the Turkish city of Istanbul in January 2011.
While Tehran says it is ready to continue the talks based on common grounds, it has stressed that it will not give up any of its rights.
