Turkish PM does not want any country to have nukes
FAIRFAX, Va. — Turkey’s prime minister says he does not want Iran or any other country to have nuclear weapons.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is among dozens of world leaders in Washington for President Barack Obama’s nuclear security summit. Erdogan spoke Monday at George Mason University’s center for Islamic studies in nearby Fairfax.
Asked about Iran’s nuclear program, Erdogan said he does not want any country in the region or elsewhere to have nuclear weapons.
Turkey currently holds one of the rotating seats on the U.N. Security Council, and the United States is hoping Turkey will cooperate with efforts to impose sanctions against Iran as punishment for its alleged work toward creating nuclear weapons.
Previously Turkey has indicated it did not support sanctions to punish Iran. Other current Security Council members, specifically Lebanon and Brazil, also are opposed to sanctions. China, a permanent member that can veto Security Council action, said last week it was willing to join in consultations about sanctioning Iran.
Iran insists it is developing a nuclear capability only for production of electrical power.
