Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that maintaining safe, free and uninterrupted navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is essential for regional stability, global energy security and international trade.
Speaking alongside Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after talks in Moscow on Tuesday, Fidan welcomed the agreement reached between the United States and Iran, describing it as an important diplomatic milestone that could help ease tensions across the region.
“As our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also emphasised, our greatest hope is that this step, which has given our region and the entire world some breathing room, will evolve into a structural and lasting security architecture rather than a temporary period of calm,” Fidan said.
He said Türkiye hopes the agreement will proceed to the final signing stage, be fully implemented and develop into a permanent diplomatic framework.
“During the sensitive period leading up to the final signatures, it is essential to avoid rhetoric that could poison the atmosphere of peace and any possible sabotage attempts by Israel aimed at derailing the process,” he said.
