Iran respects outcome ...
“Having peace and security in Turkey is important to us, since it impacts peace and security in the whole region,” Heydari said, expressing Iran’s readiness to help its neighboring country “however we can”.
Referring to the amicable relations between the two countries, he noted that the Turkish government uniformly considers Iran to be a good neighbor and a significant actor in the region’s developments.
“During his years in office, President Erdogan always sought to expand ties with all countries and cared most about the national interests of Turkey,” the Iranian MP stated.
Acknowledging that not all Turks were satisfied with Erdogan’s performance, Heydari described Ankara under his presidency as a “good neighbor to Tehran” owing to Erdogan’s positive view toward Iran.
Heydari expressed hope that whether Erdogan or Kilicdaroglu is elected to be Turkey’s president in the upcoming election, the bilateral cooperation between Iran and Turkey would continue and their ties would deepen and expand more than ever since Tehran and Ankara are two of the most important and influential actors in the region.
