Iran deal boosts regional stability: Turkish, Iraqi FMs

At a joint press conference in Ankara on Tuesday, Turkey and Iraq's foreign ministers said the nuclear deal will contribute to regional stability.

"The implementation and sustainability of the agreement will contribute to the regional stability," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

Cavusoglu said the removal of sanctions on Iran will also contribute to the regional economy, adding: "It will directly affect Turkey."

Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said: "Huge steps were taken. The point, which was reached, is important and we are supporting this. But, what is important is for this to achieve a result. Iraq is one of the countries that called for the solution of this issue."
