MNA � A senior official at the Turkish Foreign Ministry said his country will not have any representatives in the US-sponsored anti-Iran conference, which is set be hosted by Poland in Warsaw later today.

�Turkey�s political participation in such a meeting that targets one country is out of question,� a senior Foreign Ministry official told the H�rriyet Daily News on Feb. 12.

Turkey�s position with regard to this summit is clear. It sees this meeting as against Iran and therefore has decided not to take part in it.

�We are therefore not dispatching any representative to this meeting. Our embassy in Warsaw will follow it.�

This decision is based on Turkey�s principles, the official explained, stressing that its non-participation should be interpreted as the Turkish government�s distance to the US-led initiative.

�In a statement in Cairo during a trip to Egypt, US Secretary of State Pompeo had unearthed the real motive of this initiative. In line with its principles, Turkey has always been against such moves,� said the official.

Russia, Lebanon, Palestine and Qatar also are not attending the Warsaw meeting. The European Union countries which have been critical to Washington�s anti-Iran policies will also be displaying low-level participation.
