Erdogan says Türkiye ‘leading actor’ in resolving regional crises

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Türkiye is not a bystander to regional crises but “the leading actor” in efforts to resolve them, pointing to the Iran war as the latest example.

“Türkiye is not a bystander to regional crises but, as most recently seen in the Iran war, the leading actor in efforts to resolve them,” Erdogan said during the opening ceremony of the Halkali-Istanbul Airport Metro Line in Istanbul.
