Ankara Expected to Move Closer to Tehran

Relations between Tehran and Ankara have improved in recent years and the Mediterranean country will most likely expand ties with Iran in the coming year as it strives to achieve its economic development targets, an expert on Turkish affairs said. 
Turkey is one of the most important Middle East countries with a substantial role in facilitating Iran’s economic development, especially at present when the country is in dire need of closer cooperation with an influential neighbor in the face of renewed US sanctions. 
Rahman Qahremanpour elaborated on Iran-Turkey relations in 2018 and the prospects for 2019 in a recent interview with the Iranian Diplomacy news website.
