AK victory will help cement Tehran-Ankara relations: NTV director
TEHRAN, June 14 (MNA) -- Turkey’s NTV News Director Mete Cubukcu has said that the victory of the Justice and Development (AK) Party in Sunday’s parliamentary election will help strengthen relations between Iran and Turkey.
“The victory that the AK Party achieved again will further strengthen Turkey’s relations with Iran and other regional countries,” Cubukcu told the Mehr News Agency in an interview on Monday.
As Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated in his speech on Sunday, the AK Party’s victory is the victory of regional countries, Cubukcu stated.
During his victory speech, Erdogan said, “Bosnians, Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians also benefited from his victory,” the Palestine Telegraph reported.
“Believe me, Sarajevo won today as much as Istanbul, Beirut won as much as Izmir, Damascus won as much as Ankara, Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin, the West Bank, Jerusalem won as much as Diyarbakir,” he added.
Cubukcu also said the special emphasis that the prime minister always puts on security in Turkey means that security in Turkey has a direct impact on regional security and that Turkey’s role in region is indisputable.
Erdogan means that, for example, any decision on Syria cannot be implemented without Turkey’s consent, he added.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Cubukcu said the AK Party’s victory indicates that Turkish people are satisfied with the progress that the country is making and want it to continue.
