PanARMENIAN.Net - The outcomes of an Israeli air strike on Iran's
nuclear facilities would be "disastrous," Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan said.
He talked to journalists on board an airplane on his way from a
meeting with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to
Hürriyet Daily News.
"The entire region would be devastated if Israel strikes Iran,"
Erdoğan said and added that he shared his views with U.S. President
Barack Obama.
A regional conflict triggered by a possible Israeli strike "would not
end up like the war between U.S. and Iraq. Israel should not attack
Iran," Erdoğan said and added thatIsrael was taking part in
"disaster-mongering" with its constant threats of a possible strike on
Iran.
"Israel has between 250 to 300 nuclear warheads. Nobody is discussing
that," Erdoğan told journalists.
"Iran says they would not produce nuclear weapons. They are saying
that they would produce a specific amount of enriched uranium rods and
stop after that," he added.
