Investing.com -- Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Ankara is working to extend a ceasefire between the United States and Iran while seeking to ease tensions and ensure talks continue between the two nations.

Speaking to lawmakers in parliament, Erdogan said Turkey remains hopeful about negotiations between Washington and Tehran despite ongoing issues. He noted that difficult matters in the talks could be largely resolved if both sides focus on the benefits of peace.
