Turkish prime minister to visit Iran this week

Istanbul, March 2, IRNA – Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will travel to Iran this week on an official visit, Turkish media reported.

The visit could offer the neighbors an opportunity to discuss their different views on the war in Syria.

Tehran, along with Russia, supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Turkey is among his most outspoken critics. Turkey is also close to Saudi Arabia, which has cut its diplomatic ties with Iran.

Despite their differences, Turkey and Iran have largely maintained cordial diplomatic relations. Davutoglu will travel to Iran on March 4 and 5, according to a statement from his office.
