MOSCOW, February 10. /TASS/. The only way to prevent a global nuclear arms race is responsible conduct by nuclear powers, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a briefing.

"We believe that all 'nuclear club' members will behave responsibly so as not to give any reason for a nuclear race," he noted, commenting on Ankara’s statement about the conditions that could make Turkey pursue nuclear weapons.

Top Turkish diplomat Hakan Fidan said earlier, commenting on Iran potentially acquiring nuclear weapons, that it could make Ankara "involuntarily" enter a nuclear arms race. The minister responded with a meaningful smile to the follow-up question about whether Turkey would like to possess nuclear weapons, but made no comment.
