'Turkey is opposed to new sanctions on Iran'

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has refused to support calls for new sanctions against Iran, saying they would be ineffective.

After a meeting with US President Barack Obama in Washington on Monday, Erdogan said Turkey will not support any proposal to impose new sanctions on Iran at the United Nations Security Council.

The comments showed that Obama failed to persuade the Turkish prime minister of the need for sanctions against Iran.

Erdogan said Turkey wants to see a diplomatic solution to Tehran's nuclear standoff with the West.

Erdogan also offered to mediate in negotiations between Tehran and the West.

These developments come ten days after the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors approved a resolution against Iran.

Erdogan criticized the resolution against Iran, calling it very rushed.

“I believe that was a very rushed process because certain steps could be taken in a more consultative fashion,” Erdogan said.

Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful and is necessary to generate energy for its growing population.

This means that Turkey no longer submits to total US domination. As you probably know, countries that refuse to submit to complete US domination belong to the 'axis of evil'.

Turkey is right in that sanctions on Iran do no good.

As far as the IAEA goes, the NPT should be abolished. It is useless and only prevents peaceful nations from acquiring nuclear weapons, while rogue nations, such as Iran and N. Korea violate the Treaty without consequence.

may Allah guide our leaders !!!

So wait, there's only two countries in the entire world that don't submit to complete US domination?

Hopefully, if Turkey succeeds in this, Iran won't have sanctions imposed and the West can stop pooing their pants.

I would not worry. Even without Turkey, Iran will do just fine.

Maybe they can add a nuclear arsenal to their other wonderful things. Like their contribution to the world in regard to cranes. They make wonderful hanging machines.

Stoning people.

I often thought that the only problem with burning witches is you can't build a big enough fire. Imagine if they had nukes back then. One can only dream.

That is exactly what was missing back then.

But, Iran will have them and we'll see how the middle ages would deal with such power.

Those marching in the streets and condemning their leadership in regard to atrocities, they can remain dying for their cause while the world celebrates Iran's breach of the NPT Treaty.


It's not a wonder Iran feels itself emboldened. Just hate the U.S. and Iran gets a pass.

But, this has nothing to with the U.S.. Even though some would believe that. Celebrating Iran is just that. It's not anti-American. It's just love for Iran.

U.S. hegemony, I am against. I'm one of those who believe in American isolation. Let the fools kill themselves.

But, celebrate those who are against the U.S.. That takes the eyes off of some real atrocities that Iran's government applies to their citizens.

Keep doing that.

The wars America has engaged in, in this decade, were wrong.

Taking down Saddam was wrong. Who knew that Iraqis actually loved this Man? If I could bring him back to life I would. Those who hanged him showed pure cowardice. Instead of dignity, they did the opposite.

We should have pulled out immediately after Saddam was hung. If a Government executes their own then they should not need support to survive. They can't even defend themselves and yet they execute people?

Shameful.

You meant to say rogue nations such as the US and Israel, right? After all, those two states consistently violate all international agreements, international law and UN resolutions, unlike Iran, which - contrary to popular belief - by and large abides by international law...

The wars America has engaged in, in this decade, were wrong.

Almost all wars America has engaged in were wrong. Including Vietnam for example. Please read William Blum's "Killing Hope" and Noam Chomsky's works.

Most countries submit to US domination to some extent. Powerful countries not as much. China and Russia are fairly independent. And countries such as France and Great Britain for example are able to resist US policies (if they choose to do so).

I'll agree with that. We should have given those Yanks a spanking at the War of Independence. Although World War 2, America was engaged for a good cause (fighting Nazis, there's no more heroic cause).

Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Mali? Those countries aren't on the Axis of Evil.

The US has imposed sanctions on Venezuela (just because they don't sumbit to US domination). Also, there is an agreement between the US and Colombia, which is Venezuela's neighbour, under which the US can use several military bases in Colombia. The US is going to use the bases for espionage, wiretapping, intelligence and monitoring. The US is extremely hostile against Venezuela which refuses to become a colony of the US.

I really hate turkey. Their betrayal against Islam is almost equal to all the other dictators in muslim countries who bled their countries dry and made western companies rich while the muslims remained impovrished

This is a rather ignorant statement, considering who the AKP is and what they represent.

Actually it need it, Turkey is how economically Iran is able to operate.

Maybe they can add a nuclear arsenal to their other wonderful things. Like their contribution to the world in regard to cranes. They make wonderful hanging machines.

They also a rather advanced country in terms of treatments to chemical and biological treatments. You know, things like this happen when US supplied weapons are used on your people.
