Well let's hope that Ahmadinejad can be induced to follow Erdogan's advice.
However, my recent experience in trying to induce conspiracy theorists into
giving up their irrational fancies and following reason hasn't given me
cause for optimism.

Erdogan met Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of a regional gathering in the
Azerbaijani capital.
Asked what messages he conveyed to the hardline Iranian leader, Erdogan
said: "Turkey believes that no one can object to nuclear technology for
peaceful, humanitarian aims.
"But of course, no country in the world will approve the proliferation of
nuclear weapons."
Asked Ahmadinejad's reply, Erdogan said: "They also have the same
understanding."
Turkish officials told Anatolia that Ahmadinejad insisted at the meeting
that Tehran's nuclear program was peaceful, while Erdogan urged more
transparency.
Erdogan reiterated that the mounting dispute between Iran and the West
should be resolved through diplomatic means, Anatolia said.
