Turkey says attacks in Gulf harm peace efforts, must stop immediately

ANKARA, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday that reciprocal attacks in the Gulf were impacting peace efforts to end the U.S.-Iran war and called for them to immediately stop, adding Ankara also valued the stability of its neighbour Iran.

Speaking at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart in Baku, Fidan also said freedom of passage should be allowed in the Strait of Hormuz and the pre-war status quo should be re-instated, adding Ankara was in touch with all involved parties to find a solution to the matter.
