00:00...deputy minister for foreign affairs for Turkey, and we are joined by Musa Kulak-Likeya.
00:07And thank you so much for joining us. He is in Ankara.
00:10President Erdogan has just in the last few minutes been talking about the U.S. risking turning the entire region
00:16into a ring of fire.
00:17What's your position?
00:23Thank you very much for this opportunity, first of all.
00:25As Turkey, we are really deeply concerned about the joint attacks by Israel and America launched against Iran,
00:36and also Iran's response, which also involved some regional countries.
00:43In fact, unlike the 12-day war, this time the war is triggering over a series of attacks spreading across
00:53the entire region.
00:55It has shown that the conflict could escalate into a very serious level, putting in danger the regional and global
01:05security and prosperity.
01:12All right. Well, we had an alarm going off in the office, but let's just get it back to our
01:16guest there in Ankara.
01:17So, what can Turkey, what can Ankara do in order to perhaps facilitate some kind of, I suppose, ceasefire or
01:26at least some mediation?
01:30In fact, as we did before, we showed our effort first to convince all the parties related to this cause
01:41to sit and negotiate through a diplomatic channel to reach any peaceful solution.
01:49Luckily, both parties are accepted our proposal and they restarted their negotiation in Oman.
01:58And following, I mean, following opportunities, they continued their negotiation and they fixed the next appointment in Austria-Vienn.
02:13But unfortunately, before the appointment, we witnessed this unexpected attack again, as we witnessed in June 2025.
02:27This is really upset for everyone.
02:31And our call to all parties to reach any kind of ceasefire immediately to prevent spreading war in the region
02:46and affect economically and also security-wise and also to prevent any migration wave to different countries.
03:00As Turkey, we are ready to mediate with all parties.
03:04One thing...
