Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara does not want the conflict between the United States and Iran to spread further across the region, Anadolu reports.

Erdogan has made the remarks during a meeting in Istanbul with Masrour Barzani, the Prime Minister of Iraq’s Kurdish Regional Government (KRG), according to Turkiye’s Communications Directorate.

The two sides discussed the latest regional developments during the meeting, where Erdogan expressed concern over attacks on Iraqi territory, including in Erbil, and said Turkiye opposed the expansion of the US-Israeli war on Iran to other countries in the region.
