Turkey calls on all parties in US to use common sense

Turkey's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday called on all parties in the US to use moderation and common sense, as supporters of US President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building.

Turkey is monitoring 'worrying' developments in the US, including attempts to storm the Capitol building, the ministry said in a statement.

"We believe that the US will overcome this domestic crisis calmly," it added.

In the statement, Turkish citizens in the US were recommended to stay away from crowded places and places where demonstrations are held.

"We follow the events in the USA with concern and invite the parties to calmness. We believe that problems will always be solved within law and democracy," Turkey's Parliament Speaker Mustafa Şentop said on Twitter.

"As Turkey, we have always been in favor of the law and democracy and we recommend it to everyone," he added.
