Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday that he hopes the Biden administration would return to the nuclear deal and lift sanctions on Iran.
Speaking at a joint news conference with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif in Istanbul, Cavusoglu said that Turkey has always supported the nuclear deal that was reached by the US, EU, and Iran. “I hope that with the Biden administration, the United States return to this agreement and cooperation on the (nuclear) issue is restored,” Cavusoglu said. “In this way, God willing, the sanctions and embargoes imposed on brotherly Iran are lifted.”
Touching on the Karabakh deal, he said that they want a permanent cease-fire.
In this regard, we are planning to establish a mechanism with Azerbaijan, Russia, Armenia, Georgia, and Iran, he said.
For his part, the Iranian foreign minister hailed relations with Turkey, adding that ties will deepen when the US adopts more reasonable attitudes.
He went on to say that cooperation between Turkey and Iran in the Caucasus will definitely benefit regional countries.
“Iran-Turkey relations are very important for us and filled with mutual benefits,” Zarif said.
He expressed the hope that the trade volume between the two countries will return to the pre-pandemic and -embargo days.
“Unfortunately, the US is used to imposing sanctions,” Zarif said.
Zarif will be received by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following the Friday prayer.
