Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for cooperation
to find settlement to regional issues, reports Turkish news agency
Anadolu Ajansi.

"I would like stress that the region’s issues cannot be solved by
forces from outside. These issues should be solved by the initiatives
and the cooperation of the region’s countries and we need to achieve
that," Erdogan told a Turkey-Iran business forum in the Iranian
capital of Tehran.

Erdogan said Turkey sought to develop friendly relations with its
neighbors and with countries in the region.

"We have pursued a policy of zero problems with our neighbors over
the seven years of our government and we have began to yield the
positive results of our policy in a very short time," Erdogan said.
