Erdogan: No force should threaten Iran’s peaceful nuclear program

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed support for Iran’s nuclear program during a visit to the Islamic Republic on Wednesday, and said that no one has the right to use force against a country that is pursuing peaceful nuclear activities, Iranian and Turkish media reported.

“No one has the right to impose anything on anyone with regards to nuclear energy, provided that it is for peaceful purposes,” Erdogan was quoted as saying by Turkish newspaper Today’s Zaman. “Everyone with commonsense opposes nuclear weapons,” he added.
