Turkey’s ambassador to the United Nations, Feridun Sinirlioğlu, has strongly condemned Israel’s recent military strikes on Iran. In a statement released on Friday, Ambassador Sinirlioğlu expressed his deep concern over the escalating tensions between these two nations and the potential threat it poses to global security and the international nuclear deal.
The ambassador’s condemnation comes in the wake of Israel’s airstrikes on Iranian military bases in Syria, which have been deemed as a response to Iran’s alleged attack on Israeli military positions in the Golan Heights. These military actions have raised fears of a full-blown conflict between the two countries and have sparked international outcry.
Ambassador Sinirlioğlu emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region and urged all parties to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to de-escalate the situation. He also called on the international community to take immediate action to prevent any further military aggression and uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter.
The ambassador further stressed the danger of these military strikes on the international nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was signed in 2015 between Iran and six world powers including the United States, Russia, China, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The JCPOA aims to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
Ambassador Sinirlioğlu highlighted the significant role that the JCPOA plays in maintaining global peace and security and warned that any disruption to the agreement could have dire consequences. He urged all parties involved to honor their commitments and continue to abide by the terms of the deal.
The ambassador also expressed Turkey’s support for the Iranian people and their right to peaceful nuclear energy. He emphasized that the use of military force is not the solution to resolving conflicts and urged all parties to engage in constructive dialogue to find a peaceful resolution.
Turkey, as a member of the United Nations Security Council, has consistently advocated for peaceful solutions to conflicts and has been a strong supporter of the JCPOA. Ambassador Sinirlioğlu reaffirmed Turkey’s commitment to upholding the principles of the United Nations and its efforts to promote global peace and security.
In conclusion, Ambassador Sinirlioğlu’s condemnation of Israel’s military strikes on Iran sends a strong message to the international community that Turkey stands firmly against any actions that threaten global security and stability. He called on all parties to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to prevent any further escalation of the situation. Turkey remains committed to upholding the international nuclear deal and will continue to work towards finding peaceful solutions to conflicts in the region. It is time for the international community to come together and take decisive action to prevent any further threats to global peace and security.
