“The bilateral cooperation and steps we have taken during rough times has not only increased hopes but also encouraged and strengthened us,” said Suleyman Soylu during his meeting with Iran’s Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli.
Recalling the historical ties between Iran and Turkey, Soylu said the two countries have taken significant steps in the last two years on cooperation and responsibilities.
He further noted that the close cooperation between the two countries has recently become high-level.
