‘Sanctions made Iran a center of power’ - Gayo Lues

Felicity Party Deputy Chairman Mustafa Yilmaz
A senior Turkish politician says Western sanctions have turned the Islamic Republic of Iran into a “center of power” in the Middle East region, Press TV reports.

Felicity Party Deputy Chairman Mustafa Yilmaz, in an interview with Press TV’s Ankara correspondent on Sunday, said that the main reason why sanctions were imposed on Iran is that Israel and the West were disturbed by the Islamic Revolution because they “had lost a state that was under their control and a country was born that confronted them as a new center of power.”

“Iran, under sanctions, achieved the capability to produce its own technology and to develop its own national defense industry. If such sanctions were not imposed on Iran, and just like Turkey and other Muslim nations it was told ‘we will provide you with aircraft, missiles, and drones,’ today it would have been impossible to talk about an Iran that has become a center of power in the region,” Yilmaz stated.

“I believe that the sanctions imposed on Iran will not be fruitful and effective” for the West, he added.
