Turkiye

Turkiye, officially the Republic of Türkiye, is a transcontinental country located mainly on the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeastern Europe. It is currently newsworthy due to its active role in mediating the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. Recent events show Turkiye's Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, warning against a US attack on Iran and emphasizing Iran's readiness to negotiate. Iran's Foreign Minister has also visited Turkiye for high-level talks. Turkiye's geographical location and its relationships with both the US and Iran position it as a key player in regional security and diplomatic efforts to prevent a potential war. Turkiye's involvement highlights its desire to maintain stability in the region and avoid further conflict.
