Turkey opposes military action against Iran, urges diplomatic solutions
Fidan made the remarks during a meeting with journalists in Istanbul, noting that the matter carries international implications. He added that Tehran is “subject to sanctions” due to certain policies.
He explained that he had encouraged Iranian officials to resolve disputes with regional countries and said, “It (Iran) should resolve its issues on the global nuclear matter through diplomacy without missing any opportunity, so that certain structural problems causing economic difficulties can be eliminated.”
Fidan emphasized that international isolation limits access to economic services. “Iran has a large population and a dynamic society. It has sophisticated people with a very strong desire for life and for participation in social life. When you deprive such a society of certain opportunities, these kinds of problems emerge.”
He further noted, “What gets confused here is that the hardships people face due to economic and other difficulties can appear as an ideological uprising against the regime; in reality, this constitutes a grey area.”
Fidan added, “When examined closely, there is no situation that would whet the appetite of some countries hostile to Iran abroad, in terms of hostility toward the regime. However, the economic difficulties created by existing policies, and the inability to alleviate them, do give rise to serious problems. We do not want to see any intervention here, but when you look at the policies of (US President Donald) Trump, we have not seen a strong preference so far for the use of ground forces.”
