Due to the situation around Iran, all national institutions of Turkey have entered a high state of alert. Ankara is taking necessary measures to avoid being drawn into this military conflict.
President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made these remarks during a Ramadan traditional iftar dinner held in Istanbul. He gave a negative evaluation of attempts to drag Turkey into a war with Iran.
Erdoğan said: "We always remain highly vigilant against conspiracies, traps and provocations that attempt to drag our country into war."
At the same time, he emphasized that the country is taking all necessary security measures against any potential threats that may infringe on Turkish airspace.
The president's statement was also a response to an incident where a missile launched from inside Iran was shot down over Turkish airspace.
This Turkish leader said: "Our core task is to protect the country from being affected by this war trap."
Previously, Eurasia Daily News reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed gratitude to Turkey for its support, while also emphasizing that Iran will resolutely defend its sovereignty.
