Ahmadinejad: Turkey's role key to regional stability

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Turkey's global stature has gained prominence due to the wise policies its leader and officials have adopted.

Such policies, said the President in a phone dialogue with his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, has placed Turkey in a position of playing a "very effective role in regional stability and security."

"Of course," he said, "The intelligent people of Turkey also appreciate such policies and support their leader's constructive plans."

Ahmadinejad also said that regional and global development are changing in favor of Iran and Turkey, creating an excellent opportunity for Tehran and Ankara to push harder for the establishment of peace and justice at a global level.

The Turkish president, for his part, urged continued negotiations and collaborations between the two nations, saying that it could benefit both regional and international peace and stability.

The two presidents also pledged to support each other's rights in various international stages.
