"We have serious differences of opinion withIranover theSyrianissue. We hope thatIranwould come to understand the new dynamics in the region,"Davutoglutold Thursday a conference at the London School of Economics on challenges in global and regional politics.
DavutoglusaidIranremained silent to theSyrianregime's killing of its own people, adding that the UN Security Council has been unable to act on thecrisisin Syria as well.
Over Iran's controversial nuclear program,Davutoglusaid Turkey had a clear position on the issue, adding, "we do not want to see a nuclear power in our region -- Iran, Israel or any other country. But we believe that all countries have a right for a peaceful nuclear program."
