The meeting of the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Great Britain with their Iranian colleague Abbas Araghtschi is scheduled to begin in Switzerland in the afternoon. Johann WadePhul (Germany, CDU), Jean-Noël Barrot (France) and David Lammy (Great Britain) want to explore, among other things, whether Tehran is willing to give in to his nuclear program and to avoid nuclear weapons. The EU foreign commissioner Kaja Kallas also takes part in the talks.
Kornelius said that the Chancellor's WadePhul confirmed the talks in Geneva and was in close exchange with the Foreign Minister. In view of the war in the Middle East, Merz himself is diplomatically active. On Thursday, the Chancellor had called the Emir of Qatar and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Erdogan announced that he had emphasized on the phone call with Merz, the way to solve the nuclear dispute with Iran through the negotiating table. The violence spirals, which was triggered by the Israeli attack on Iran, threatens regional security to the greatest degree and can also negatively influence Europe – especially through possible migration and nuclear leaks due to attacks on the Iranian nuclear facilities. Turkey will continue to work to end the conflict.
