Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called for an immediate end to escalating regional conflicts during a phone conversation with Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani, as tensions across the Middle East continue to intensify.

According to Türkiye’s Communications channels, Erdogan expressed solidarity with Barzani following a recent attack targeting his residence, conveying his sympathies and reaffirming Ankara’s opposition to such acts of violence.

The Turkish leader stressed the urgency of halting ongoing hostilities, warning that continued instability risks further destabilizing an already volatile region. Ankara, he said, has consistently opposed actions that undermine regional security and is pushing for a broader de-escalation effort.

The conversation comes against the backdrop of a widening regional conflict triggered by a U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran that began in late February. The confrontation has resulted in significant casualties and triggered retaliatory strikes by Tehran across multiple countries, including Iraq, raising fears of a broader regional war.

Erdogan reiterated Türkiye’s commitment to diplomatic engagement, emphasizing the need for restraint and dialogue to prevent further escalation. Both leaders also discussed the broader implications of the conflict for regional stability and security, underscoring the importance of cooperation between Ankara and Erbil during a period of heightened uncertainty.

The call reflects ongoing coordination between Türkiye and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) as both sides seek to navigate rising geopolitical risks and prevent spillover effects from the intensifying Iran-linked conflict.
