President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump following the announcement of a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, expressing satisfaction with the development.
Erdoğan and Trump discussed the latest regional developments, with a focus on the ceasefire declared overnight in the context of tensions involving Iran, according to a statement from the Turkish presidency.
The Turkish leader underlined the importance of using what he described as a “two-week window of opportunity” to secure a lasting peace agreement and warned against efforts that could undermine the process.
Since the outbreak of hostilities on Feb. 28, Erdogan has held a series of diplomatic contacts with regional and international leaders aimed at promoting de-escalation and dialogue.
