Turkey reiterates opposition to US anti-Iran sanctions

TEHRAN, May 11 (MNA) – A spokesman for Turkey’s ruling AKP said Fri. that US sanctions on Iranian oil exports do not serve peace in the region.

“We state that such sanctions are only punishing people, and that it is not possible to reach the goals written in any way,” Ömer Çelik, spokesman for Turkey’s ruling AKP, told a wide-ranging news conference at the party headquarters, according to Hurriyet daily news.

“We once again clearly state that we are against these sanctions, and that these sanctions will not yield the right results,” he added.

The US administration refused to extend the sanctions waivers for Iran’s major oil clients. The US hostile and illegal action has sparked wide condemnations and criticism.
