| Excerpt / Summary ERDOGAN (through translator): We do not want to see any nuclear weapons in our region. And in all of our discussions with our Iranian counterparts, we have always expressed this opinion. And what the Iranians have always clearly stated to us has been that they have no investment on nuclear arms, that they are involved in activities for peaceful means, and if Turkey is asked to be -- to act as an intermediary, we, I believe, can help and try to find the solution, because the process should be resolved not through sanctions, but through diplomacy, in my view.
