BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. The alternative to a
ceasefire is a resumption of war, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan
Fidan told Arab media, Trend reports.


He said no one wants a repeat of that scenario, as such a
conflict would seriously undermine the global economy and energy
security.


According to him, the main priority in the negotiations between
the US and Iran is maintaining the ceasefire.


"Negotiations are ongoing, and some progress has been made.
Despite the complexity of the process, the parties intend to
maintain diplomatic contacts," Hakan Fidan said.


The minister added that Ankara maintains close contacts with the
United States, Iran, and regional countries, particularly Qatar,
Egypt, and Jordan. He stated that the parties are holding
consultations to advance dialogue and reduce tensions.
