Axar.az informs, citing Anadolu Agency, Turkiye remains steadfast in its efforts to “promote peace, calm and stability” in the region, he said at an event in the capital Ankara.

Erdogan said Turkiye is making every effort to free “our region from this turmoil” without further bloodshed.

He made the remarks amid the ongoing US-Israeli military offensive launched against Iran on Saturday which has killed several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In response, Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel as well as several regional countries that are home to US assets.
