Hakan Fidan Demands End to Gulf Hostilities

During a joint press conference alongside his Azerbaijani counterpart, Fidan identified the restoration of pre-war conditions as a prerequisite for regional security. He placed particular emphasis on the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining that the unimpeded freedom of passage through this maritime corridor remains non-negotiable for international stability.

Turkey continues to position itself as a mediator, with Fidan confirming that Ankara maintains active diplomatic channels with all primary stakeholders. While the Minister reaffirmed a commitment to a peaceful resolution, his remarks highlight a growing concern that current military exchanges risk spiraling beyond the control of those seeking a diplomatic exit.
