Turkey Not Interested in US’ Iran Sanctions

Turkey says “We do not consider sanctions and pressures on Iran as appropriate and acceptable and publicly declare this everywhere in bilateral meetings, and explain how such actions threaten peace in the region”

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says his country is resolved to expand ties with Iran despite US threats to punish governments that violate recently-restored economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
“Time and again we have made it clear that we will not implement US sanctions against Iran,” Cavusoglu said as he met with President Hassan Rouhani’s special envoy, Mahmoud Vaezi, in Ankara on Thursday.
Prior to the meeting, Vaezi had a brief session with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and delivered a written message from Rouhani, Mehr News Agency reported.
