I think Pakistan and Turkey officials should really visit Iran and ask for their intentions and should tell them the pros and cons of if there intentions are to build up nuclear weapons. If even Iran succeeds in getting one, will it survive the sanctions and pressure from the outside countries like Europe and America? Will it recieve support from Pakistan, Turkey, Russia and China like countries, or will all these countries be forced to not to support Iran?
Pakistan, Turkey call for peaceful solution to Iran nuclear issue
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani and Turkish diplomats have called for a peaceful resolution to the international dispute over Iranââ¬â¢s nuclear programme, a government statement said on Tuesday.
Senior Foreign Ministry official Riaz Mohammad Khan and Ali Tuygan ââ¬â undersecretary for Turkeyââ¬â¢s Foreign Affairs ââ¬â made the comments after bilateral talks in on Monday, it said. Regional and international issues including developments in the Middle East, South Asia and Afghanistan were discussed, and the two sides ââ¬Åstressed the need for an amicable settlement of the Iran nuclear issueââ¬Â, the statement said.
Tehran has said that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, but the United States and its European allies believe that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon.
The West has proposed a UN Security Council resolution spelling out a number of demands, including that Iran stop enriching uranium ââ¬â the material that can be used to make a nuclear bomb.
Pakistani and Turkish officials ââ¬â who last met in Ankara in August 2003 ââ¬â also reviewed bilateral relations, in particular trade and economic ties as well as cultural and educational cooperation, the statement said.
Later, Tuygan called on Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri at his office. Kasuri will visit Ankara later this month on the invitation of his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul. AP
